What is it about?
This essay examines my educational journey as an American Black-white biracial woman. Using Intersectionality, situated in Black Feminist thought, as a theoretical framework, alongside the ‘Multidimensional Model of Racial Identity Options’ and the ‘Biracial Identity Development Model’, I situate and reflect on my educational experiences and personal journey under the context of my Black-white biracial background. Drawing on my parents’ narratives, I further reflect on finding a liberated perspective on my unique 'in between'.

Why is it important?
As there has not historically been a large space carved out for the sociopolitical and emotional experiences of multiracial individuals across the world, I'm hoping this paper, amongst other scholars' work, does its part to help fill this gap.
