What Are You Mixed With? Navigating Anti-Blackness, White Supremacy, and Light Skinned Privilege is a compelling anthology of memoirs and essays that delve into the nuanced experiences of Black and White biracial individuals, and those who interact with them. Through personal narratives, the struggles with identity, belonging, discrimination, and the joys and complexities of navigating mixed-race heritage are shared.
