As of 2021, President Biden officially designated the month of May as #AsianAmericanNativeHawaiianAndPacificIslanderHeritageMonth (#AANHPI). A long acronym but that’s not the only one. Its also known as #AsianPacificIslanderDesiAmericanHeritageMonth (#APIDA), which intentionally includes #SouthAsian identities as their cultures and identities are underrepresented. All of these terms are pretty umbrella but no matter what it’s called we must continue to learn and unlearn about these cultures. We all need to see ourselves. We all need to be acknowledged, recognized and celebrated because #representationmatters. For everyone!
So like every year, let me know who your favorite mixed raced #Asian #Hawaiian #PacificIslander and #Desi public figures you would love to see featured.
Also DM me about your experiences being mixed #AANHPIDA to be featured!
In honor of #arabamericanheritagemonth we are spotlighting It Girl & Supermodel @gigihadid. She’s gotten a lot of criticism over her supporting her own #Palestinian heritage when #FreePalestine was the most talked about hashtag last year. She said she was made to feel, “I’m too #White to stand up for part of my #Arab heritage.”
We can relate, Gi.
She and her partner #ZaynMalik, who is #English #Irish and #Pakistani, discuss their racial identities regularly, which both consider “important.”
“We think about it and talk about it a lot as partners and it’s something that’s really important to us, but it’s also something that we first experienced ourselves. Because both of our parents are their own heritage. We are that #firstgeneration of those #mixedraces, and then that comes with that first generational experience of being like: ‘Oh damn, I’m the bridge!‘”
Growing up half Palestinian through her father Mohamed Hadia and half #Dutch through her mother Yolanda, her #mixedrace identity has been a push and pull. “You go through life trying to figure out where you fit in racially. Is what I am, or what I have, enough to do what I feel is right? But then, also, is that taking advantage of the privilege of having the whiteness within me, right? Am I allowed to speak for this side of me, or is that speaking on something that I don’t experience enough to know?”
She and Zayn have one child together, a daughter named Khai Hadid Malik. “She’ll grow up feeling out the way that she can or wants to be a bridge for her different ethnicities. It’s up to her. What comes from her is what I’m most excited about, and being able to add to that or answer her questions about our heritage and history.” #wcw #gigihadid #mixedgirl https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc33Ht_uWr-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#throw post from @art_teacher_life: “I just wanted to let you know that I have been learning a lot about some of the issues I’ve been experiencing my whole life as #beingbiracial. I am originally from a small town in where there were no other #biracialfamilies. I struggled a lot with identity as I was not #White enough and not Asian enough. When I began travelling was the only time I felt like myself. Because everywhere I went people said I belonged to them and I fit in every where I went. I now understand that I have been experiencing Racial Imposter Syndrome. I think many #biracialpeople feel the same.
What is #RacialimposterSyndrome? I am a #biracial child, born in Australia. My mother is #French and my father is #Chinese #Malayian. Like many #biracialchildren I was a minority, the smallest minority. The only other children I knew until I was 13 who were also biracial were my siblings, and when I did finally meet another biracial, we clung together because we were the only two in a school of 1000 kids. There was a small group of #Asian kids at my school and every now and then we would hang out with them, but were never ‘Asian’ enough. The 'white’ kids at our school bullied me with racist slurs I didnt understand and forced me to hate looking 'ethnic.’
Racial Imposter Syndrome is a condition when biracial people feel as though they do not belong to their parents or grandparents race due to being #mixedrace. Biracial individuals, including myself, often experience severe #mentalhealth issues due to a lack of belonging and isolation. As our minority is becoming the fastest growing minority this is an issue that needs to be addressed. #Biracialpeople are a #POC minority who deserve to belong.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Check out my How To: Be Featured Story for a Shoutout! ☝️ Following me is required!
