This identity struggle is a common thread shared by bi-racial people irrespective of gender, education, and status in life. When reading President Elect Obama’s book, Dreams from my Father, it is apparent that Obama struggled with his identity and acknowledged that he drank at an early age and experimented with drugs trying to fill this void.

We are caught in the middle and find ourselves grappling with who we are and with what race offers us acceptance. It has been over 10 years since the last book was published that dealt directly with the struggles facing bi-racial children and adults. His book also gives parents an honest prism through which to view their children and tools that will assist them in raising bi-racial kids. I received my Bachelor’s Degree from Florida Memorial University and Law Degree from Thurgood Marshall School of Law in Houston, Texas. I have written several articles, which address the issues related to being bi-racial in America.
