Mixed Kids Cope Different
Inspired by Jasmine Jenkins and Gamin
“We squirm in our ultraviolet
skin tone,”
Jasmine Jenkins
(Black & White)
“unseen in the rainbow…”
Joseph Aikens
(Black & White)
“scattering out of category”
Jasmine Nwokedi
(Black African (Nigerian) & White)
“out of color barrier,”
Jamal Gulley
(Japanese & Black)
“out of the grey shady area
where melanin can precede
image,”
Brandon Plunket
(Mexican & White)
“provide heritage or recede
privilege”
Ean Collie
(Black & White)
“We came from a place where
prejudice and hate did more
than just copulate”
Cedric Handley
(Black & White)
“So we know it’s possible.”
Izak Beard
(Panamanean, Black, & White)
“We operate from the middle,”
“but self-love’s always an obstacle.”
“Our truth is never one-sided,”
“it’s divided into halves trying to moderate the
oldest illusion known to humans.”
