Developing Identity Confidence in Mixed-Race Homes with Dr. Jennifer Noble

As a country (and world), we often try to fit people into boxes regarding their race … Black.. White..  Asian..  Hispanic… But, we are missing a huge sector of the population (over 9 million people in the United States!!), that don’t just fit into one of those boxes.. They fit into two, maybe even three or four.  Many times, we are doing our world & our children a great disservice by forcing our kids to “check a box,” and to choose which race they identify as, and by not acknowledging that MANY of us have identities made up of multiple races.  Dr. Jenn Noble is a Psychologist, educator, & champion for all marginalized communities and the parents trying to raise their teens within them. She shares her wisdom with us today on helping mixed-race children with identity development.
