Abstract

Numerous Multiracial Americans are often forced by society to identify with one of their races over another; in result some parts of their identity are "stolen". This session will focus on four threats -otherwise known as "identity thieves"- that Multiracial Americans face in their day-by-day lives. The four thieves are conceived from society and can burden the journey Multiracial Americans will take to find their racial identity. This is an interactive session with an activity that will challenge attendees to think deeply about their own identity and grow as an individual using concepts of intersectionality.
