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 mixed-race individuals across the world, I'm hoping this paper, amongst other scholars' work, does its part to help fill this gap.
