Event: Biracial Family Twitter Party

Place: Twitter

Hosts: @euphorialuv , @Quiskaeya and @Jamericanspice

Topic: Teaching Biracial Children About their Identity


Purpose: To provide parents & biracials with the opportunity to talk about biracial identity to help build a stronger multiracial/multicultural community

• As a parent of a biracial how do you help your child self-identify? Ex: books, events, playgroups etc
• If your child chose one identity over another would it offend you?
• Are your children equally accepted by both sides of the family?
• Do you feel the one drop rule is still widely thought and accepted with regards to biracials?
• Do you consider how society will identify your child? Does this effect how you teach your biracial child to self-identity?

Even if you do not have a twitter account you can still join the conversation. The discussion will stream through tweetchat (http://tweetchat.com). You can set up an account with them and jump right into the action.

Please feel free to spread the word to other multiracial/multicultural groups. Hope that you will join in for a time of learning and sharing.
