#mixedgirlproblem

@moretamarii: "My Name is Mari ( pronounced Mah- ree ) I’m #AfroLatina, #Dominican 🇩🇴 and #Guatemalan 🇬🇹, my biggest #mixedgirlproblem is people never wanting to accept I am both #Black and #Hispanic. A lot of people want to dilute my identity, especially my black side. #Growingupmixed has definitely opened my eyes to the world 🌎 and I am grateful no matter how hard it can be." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ September is #LatinxHeritageMonth!

@theblackdahlia_x: "Hi! I’m Dahlia Lou, a 24 year old model living in #France. I’m #mixed #MiddleEastern / #WestAsian (#Armenia #Iran & #Levant). My biggest #mixedgirlproblem is learning how to celebrate my cultures while living in an #European country. I’ve always been categorized as “exotic”, “spicy”, “different” by people and it’s been hard to live in a very small town/community and grow up in schools with people so far away from your culture. My parents immigrated to France, and it’s been hard growing up to truly know what culture I should identify with- my French life or my ancestor’s traditions." 🇦🇲🇮🇷🇫🇷 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sep. 15 - Oct. 15 is #LatinxHeritageMonth!

@srtstudentmama: "#IndoTrinidadian (#WestIndian) & #British. My biggest #mixedgirlproblem is that I was born in #England and moved to #Canada at 11. No one believes I’m from England as I no longer have my accent but they also don’t believe I’m half West Indian because I don’t “look” it 🤷‍♀️ Oh and giving a history lesson at least once a week because so many people don’t know how us #Indians got to #Trinidad in the first place." 🇮🇳🇹🇹🇬🇧 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's #AAPIHeritageMonth!

July's #newprofilepic winner is....@chocolumpia!: "Biggest #mixedgirlproblem is feeling like I don’t have a “crew”. Black people don't claim me because I don’t “act black enough”.... #Filipinos only partially claim me after they learn that my mom is Filipina and that I’ve been to the PI 3 times. And some #mixed peeps won’t claim because we don’t look similar. It’s a mind fxxx! I have a lot of #mixedfriends but they end up #beingmixed with ethnicities other than what I’m mixed with because we just gravitate towards each other. I love that. I’m half #Black (dad) and #Filipina (mom) and I claim that 1/4 #Spanish from my Grandpa cuz das my blood, too! My handles on IG are @ChocoLumpia, I also have my online studio @TheMIXTechnique (which is a play on words because my dance background is a mixture of genres but also applies to my ethnicity), my #MUA IG @yourskinfairygodmother (might be changing my handle) and I have a podcast where I discuss my life’s experiences based on being a mixed human (but also discuss a lot of other things) “ChocoLumpia Lessons”, which is also the name of my YouTube channel!" 🏴🇺🇸🇵🇭🇪🇸 Thank you to everyone who entered!

@aarielll: “My mother is #Puertorican (#Taíno #Portuguese and #Spanish) and my father is #Black-American (dna traces to #Ghana, #Mali and #Benin&togo) 😊 This is a photo of me (pink) & my sister (white); yes we have the same parents. I would say my biggest #mixedgirlproblem is simply dealing with being/looking the stereotypical idea of what #beingmixed is. Though it is not a HUGE problem; it is a very big thing that annoys me because #mixedness is only permissible or even accepted if you look like me. Meanwhile my sister and others who are more visibly black are almost never encompassed in this. And sometimes when they are; it can be perceived as “negating” their blackness. I know that I take up much more space than anyone darker than me; and I refuse to not serve a function in a community/system that I benefit off of. So I want everyone to know that being mixed is not monolithic (much like any aspect of individual identity) we ALL have range. Love your page!!” 🇵🇷🇵🇹🇪🇸🇬🇭🇲🇱🇧🇯🇹🇬🏴🇺🇸 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Check out my How To: Be Featured Story for a Shoutout! ☝️ Following me is required!

@alicerekab: "#SierraLeonean #Syrian & #Irish. Toughest #mixedgirlproblem is experiencing different manifestations of racism depending on which parent I was with growing up and having to stand up for non-passing family in those situations. Second most hurtful experience is having that experience invalidated by others. Best #mixedgirl vibe is having such a rich and diverse heritage to find comfort in and connect with as I get older. I love your page and appreciate the work you do so so much, it has been an immense comfort to me especially over the last few months - thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️" 🇸🇱🇸🇾🇮🇪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Check out my How To: Be Featured Story for a Shoutout! ☝️ Following me is required!

@iamzemira: “I am #Filipina and #White. My #mixedgirlproblem is that white people say I’m not white enough and Filipino people say I’m not Filipino enough. Ironically when I went to Japan, Japanese people thought I was fully Japanese! Some Vietnamese queens thought I was Vietnamese as well 🤷🏻‍♀️” 🇵🇭🏳️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Check out my How To: Be Featured Story for a Shoutout! ☝️ Following me is required!
