Why I Started Are Those Your Kids

When I became a mother, I searched for resources about raising biracial/multicultural children and found very little. And when I say little, I mean a minuscule amount. So, I decided to be the resource that I was looking for in hopes of helping moms like myself.

Even if you don’t have biracial/multicultural children, you can still relate to my experiences as a mother. I’ve published a few articles on the Huffington Post and my family was even featured on Inside Edition!

So, I decided to be that resource for other moms.

Even if you don’t have biracial/multicultural children, you can still relate to my experiences as a mother. I’ve published a few articles on the Huffington Post,  Adopt a Love Story & Red Tricycle.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed some days and forget why I wanted to become a mother in the first place.

No one is supposed to say that, but it’s how we all feel.

It’s an amazing journey that comes with no shortage of challenges. Throw in an interracial marriage, and that can present its own set of challenges.

Wearing makeup use to be difficult for brown girls because there weren't many options. Now there are several black-owned beauty brands!

By day I am an elementary school counselor, and by evening I’m a blogger, mom, & farmer’s wife.

Five years ago, my husband launched his own farming business, so farm life is woven into some of the other topics I share. You can find pictures of our farm on Facebook & Instagram.

I was raised on an Air Force Base by Jamaican parents (I like to call myself Jamerican) and raised in the south. Every now and then southern jargon may slip into my writing (ya’ll).

Even though I was raised in South Carolina & now reside in south Georgia, I have a different perspective on race and culture due to my military background. Looking at my group of friends growing up was like looking at the colors of the rainbow.



My husband and I have been married for 11 years, and we dated for 3. He was born and raised in south Georgia but traveled the world with his parents as a child.

We live on a farm & enjoy raising our own chickens, ducks, goats, geese & cows.

I have three daughters ages 10, 8, 5 months and my son is 4.

All 3 of my children have different textures of curly hair. Because of the challenges I faced finding products that worked for both types of hair, I love to share product reviews on the blog!

 

I’m a bit of a product junkie, so even when I find a product that works, I’m always on the hunt for another.

Join me on this journey I call life as a mother. When you subscribe to my blog, every week you’ll hear how I challenge my negative and positive experiences & give advice to other multiracial/multicultural families on how to handle it all.

I have a Multiracial Motherhood Facebook group of 4,000+ mothers who are sharing their trials and celebrations in multiracial motherhood. It’s a wonderfully positive community of mothers who are seeking community and conversation. In the group, you will find live videos, product & book recommendations and so much more! Click here to join.

Are you in a multiracial family? People often remark that when you love who you love, it doesn't matter, and the world shouldn't either.

Oh, and did I mention that I also have naturally curly hair? That’s another journey in itself! I’ll be giving you curly hair care tips & even recommending some of our favorite products. Every now and again I even post a giveaway!

Even though my focus is on resources for multiracial families, I am also passionate about education, diversity, farm life, and motherhood. My blog is filled with life experiences for everyone-not just the mom raising biracial kids.

Here are a few of my favorite (and most popular) posts:


Multiracial families are often suseptible to others biases based on their physical appearance. There is so much more to us than meets the eye.


As a black female, when you are accused of acting white, it comes as a surprise and the phrase is usually filled with condemnation. However, raising children that are half white has caused me to reevaluate my stance on the subject.
