mixed race

I have found my place. I am surrounded by mixed women at UC Berkeley who help me feel more comfortable in my skin, and for them, I will be forever grateful.

Diversity and inclusion is trending in higher education at the moment. But it is difficult to envision being inclusive of a group as diverse as multiracial students when race data collection hardly recognizes our existence.

The UC Berkeley ethnic studies department and multicultural major programs have historically struggled to maintain their funding in the face of campus budget cuts.

I imagined that Frida was a woman who grappled with the same identity struggle that I had been toying with my entire life.

Maybe the problem is that people are concerned with finding out which specific racial category I fall under. In reality, there’s not necessarily one right answer.
