AUTHOR BIO:


Are you biracial/multiracial?

Are you in an interracial marriage or committed relationship?

Are you the parent of a biracial/multiracial child (through birth or adoption)?

ATTENTION: All racially/culturally blended individuals, couples, parents, and families —

Laura Stillman (owner of I Am the Glue), Kat Robertson (owner of For the Love of Chaos and founder of StepInFaith Ministry), and Jennifer Morris (owner of Living With Purpose) are inviting you to come join in celebrating the beauty of our diversity. We have founded the Interracial Family Organization in response to recent political/legal events concerning interracial marriages and biracial children.

MISSION STATEMENT of the IFO: To facilitate the cultural recognition of interracial/multicultural families and disassociate this culture from longstanding stigma by exposing and discrediting stereotypes.

Our purpose is to raise awareness of the prejudices our community faces, to provide support to one another, and to offer a medium for each voice to be heard! As part of our October 26th virtual launch, we are accepting articles from YOU, along with your family’s story and photograph(s) to be featured on our website. If you are interested in participating, please email your information as follows:

  • Limit of ONE: Article with relevance to racially/culturally blended life
  • Limit of ONE: Biographical or autobiographical submission describing/introducing your family to our online community
  • Limit of THREE: Photographs of members of your family WITH expressed permission for publication on our website for EACH person in the photo

Please submit one or both types of articles (limit of a total of TWO articles per family) along with up to three photos via our Network:

    Good Evening everyone… I am sitting in my livingroom while my twins, both boys and 8 months old, are playing with each other.

    I just got home froma run at the local Target where I was about to spend 30 minutes of life explaining to the ignorant costumers that twins of interacial family come in all shades..

    My twins are unique in their own way but I guess what it strikes people the most is their different complection. My son Xavier has the classic featuref of a caucasian baby while Damian has the feature of a light skinned african american.

    They are twins but it is not uncommon for interacial couple to experience this. ( A couple in Germany and one in England had the same experience ).

    I am just about done with the staring or asking me if I am the nanny or if only one is mine..WTH people it is 2010 get with the program.

    I wish I knew more interacial couple in my area but unfortunely my husband and I seem to be the only one….

    Well I just wanted to vent because it took all I had not to go postal on those people.

    Erica
