Biracial Family Twitter Party

Join Us for Our Biracial Family Twitter Party

Place: Online via Twitter

Date: Friday, March 26, 2010

Time: 9p-10p EST

Hosts: @euphorialuv , @Quiskaeya and @Jamericanspice

Topic: Teaching Biracial Children About their Identity

Purpose: To provide parents & biracials an opportunity to talk about biracial identity to help build a stronger multiracial/multicultural community. Some questions open for discussion are:

1. As a parent of a biracial how do you help your child self-identify? Ex: books, events, playgroups etc


2. If your child chose one identity over another would it offend you?


3. Are your children equally accepted by both sides of the family?


4. Do you feel the one drop rule is still widely thought and accepted with regards to biracials?


5. Do you consider how society will identify your child? Does this effect how you teach your biracial child to self-identity?
