Welcome to Mixed.Up.Mama- a no-holds-barred look at parenting mixed race or multiracial children.
I grew up mixed heritage myself- Iranian/British- and was raised in Edmonton, Canada. My experience growing up without an identity, spurred my curiosity in University when I began to explore my mixed race identity.
My research into the subject, combined with my passion for writing culminated in a Masters in International Journalism with a focus on mixed race parenting.
I am now raising three mixed daughters aged 7, 5 and 3 and navigating the journey of being in a mixed race family and raising Nigerian/Iranian/English multiracial children in London, England.
Join me and hundreds of others across the world who are engaged in our Facebook group asking questions, inspiring others, offering tips and tricks for cultivating positive identity and overall, helping to create a community of parents raising interracial or mixed kids.
It’s food for thought, ideas for living genuinely and inspiration for raising mixed kids.
