My ADOPTION STORY PT. 89 | THE RIGHT TO BE OFFENDED

Often, because transracial adoptees of color struggle with their own identity, they feel disconnected when they experience racism. I have an internal debate over whether I have a right to be offended by something because I was raised by a white family. In the video, I discuss this confusion and give some advice to adoptees.

My videos are filmed and scheduled to publish weeks in advance. While I had the energy to discuss these topics then, I may be in a different place now. I don’t want any adoptee to feel like I am ignoring their connections. I just have to take care of myself as well.
