It's important for me to think I'm mixed-race.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not embarrassed that I'm mixed. I'm not ashamed that I'm mixed. I very much embraced both sides.
I never really had to put much thought into my race, and neither did anybody else. I knew I was black. I knew there was a history that accompanied my skin color, and my parents taught me to be proud of it. End of story.
