Eighten\u00a0months ago I published my first non-ghostwritten book called Being Biracial: Where Our Secret Worlds Collide<\/em><\/a>. Being Biracial<\/em> is an anthology<\/a> of essays written by parents of Mixed Race kids and\/or Multiracial adults. (We have one essay written by an adult that was dictated by a 13-year-old girl.)<\/p>\n

It is a co-author venture I did with a close friend of mine who\u2019s White and married to a Black man. Together they\u2019re raising three Biracial sons and they live in England<\/a>. Bryony Sutherland is an editor, author and ghostwriter<\/a>\u2014for more information, please visit\u00a0her website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I am Black, Japanese and White and Being Biracial<\/em> was my first non-ghostwritten book.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood, bad, ugly and illuminating\u2014everyone has an opinion on race. As Biracial people continue trending, the discussion is no longer about a singular topic, but is more like playing a game of multi-level chess. The anthology, Being Biracial: Where Our Secret Worlds Collide<\/em>, cites the experiences of twenty-four mixed-race authors and parents of multiracial children of all ages and backgrounds, from all over the world. It blends positivity, negativity, humor, pathos and realism in an enlightening exploration of what it means to be more than one ethnicity.\u201d…<\/p>\n
