Description
What happens when mixed-race people are frequently told they are not who they know themselves to be? It can cause problems with belonging, guilt and shame, imposter syndrome, isolation, and inauthenticity. Because mixed people often feel harmed and limited by outsider perspectives and judgments, they must develop the skills to define their own identities. This workbook helps mixed people live authentically and represent themselves accurately by practicing courage, learning the skills to explore their history and heritage, and developing language for their self-created narrative.
Lola Osunkoya guides readers through a crash course in:Identity exploration and development
Therapeutic framing around belonging and survival skills
Theories of change
12 guided self-reflection exercises
Readers will complete this book with a renewed sense of self-acceptance and empowerment!
