My name is Stephanie. I'm of mixed race, to put it simply...I'm a black person and I'm a white person at the same time. How you ask? It's actually quite simple. It depends on who I'm around. I like to say I'm mildly melanated.

Growing up mixed certainly had its ups and downs.  Sometimes you feel like you belong, sometimes you feel completely isolated - and sometimes you feel both at the exact same time. 

I am half black and half white. I did a 23&Me and truly am 51% white and 49% black, so I am the quintessential mixed girl. 

Together, let’s celebrate our mixed identity, find solidarity in our community, challenge the racial divides that exist in the world around us, and vow to be unapologetically our beautiful, unique selves.
