Hi Talisa, I like your latest statement. It is at once more general and more focused on your why , I think.
I am very conscious of the insanity of labeling people. You are “mixed” nothing – simply your wonderful, talented self! I recently spoke to a young woman who has an identical twin. She was very fed-up with the curiosity and ignorance and cheek displayed by relative strangers who ask her questions about her twinship 😉 People are just curious about anything out of the ordinary, I think. Maybe you should craft a kind of logo: an elegant standard answer to such queries. No need to explain all the details to every person. Irrelevant, surely?
