CAN 👏🏼 WE 👏🏼 PLEASE! 👏🏼 I swear people think they know EVERYTHING, and not just that, they think they know you better than you know yourself! FYI - no one can; not your parents, not your siblings, not your bestie, not your significant other. some of us don't know who we are yet, some of us are evolving and learning - and that's growth. #mixedgirlproblems via @indiorange.community We are: WHOLE. ABUNDANT. NECESSARY. (AND BEAUTIFUL.) It is NORMAL to have many pieces to your story. Reclaiming our history, and stepping up as our best selves is what makes our people great. I will not shy away from either sides of myself. Even when it gets hard, giving up on myself is not an option--because I can't choose a side, and I refuse to. Because you can't give up on only half of yourself, you're giving up on yourself entirely. That's how I choose to identify, as a bridge, as a necessary being who has the right to exist. No one can define this for me. Not even the systems that try to silence and categorize me. I surpass unnatural notions, I am necessary & wondrous in my sleep & wake. 🔄 @n8vscience84 --- This. Please fcking stop. Peoples families before social media and electronics and our generation were spliced and diced and separated. Just because someone is mixed does NOT MAKE THEM LESS OF A PERSON NOR LESS OF WHAT TRADITIONS AND HERITAGE AND HISTORY WAS STOLEN FROM THEM DUE TO THE RACIST WHITE WASHED SYSTEM THAT IS IN PLACE. Stop doing this to people. #Indigenous #fuckbloodquantum #fuckupthesystem #nativepower #nativelove #indigenouspeoples #indigenouscommunity #nativecommunity #aboriginalcommunity #indigenousbeauty #indigenouschief #biracialfamily #biracialbeauty #biracial #mixednatives #mixednative #mixednation #mixed #beingmixed #beingbiracial #wcw #wednesdaywisdom https://www.instagram.com/p/CPoLZ8alfRC/?utm_medium=tumblr

@alex.ann4: "Hi there - I saw your post looking for #mixednatives, so I would like to share my experience! My name is Alexandria Sharif and I am #Black and #NativeAmerican. I was born into the #MississippiBand of #Choctaw Indians and raised on a small reservation in Tennessee with my Mom and my brother who are both full-blooded. Growing up in Tennessee, I was surrounded by family (literally). I was within walking distance to several aunts, uncles, and cousins, and though I was different, I felt accepted. But when we would travel to the main reservation in Philadelphia, MS, it was a totally different experience. I was teased for my hair, my skin, and even my lips. They knew I didn't speak the language, so they would talk about me in Choctaw. One day when I was maybe 8 or 9, my Mom put me on the bus there to go to summer school. My cousin with whom I was going to attend class was supposed to look after me, but she was so embarrassed of my skin tone that she wouldn't even sit with me. Fortunately for me, I've always had a Warrior Spirit, and I learned to fight back with my words. Eventually, I gained more acceptance through sports and my personality seemed to draw people in. It was rough being ostracized when I was younger, but as I got older, I learned to embrace everything that made me stand out. My hair, my skin, my lips are all beautiful features that make me, ME. I thought I had to pick a side, but I don't. I am #Indigenous AND Black, and I love the woman God made me." 🇺🇸🏴 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ November is #NativeAmericanHistoryMonth!
