I am biracial. I understand who<br \/>I am, where I came from, and where I&#39;m headed. I&#39;ve been involved in an<br \/>organization called I-pride: interracial\/intercultural pride since I was very<br \/>little. It helped me (along with my parents), to understand that I&#39;m not<br \/>different in any color, shape, or form, and to realize that there are so many<br \/>biracial people in the world, just like me. Well, bing aware, and involved, I<br \/>was excepted as an intern for a mixed race magazine called mavin. Mavin is a<br \/>magazine that celebrates the mixed race experience, with articles such as <br \/>mulattos for dummies, transracial adoption, and featured are interviews, poems,<br \/>stories, profiles, and websites\/oarganizations, and people that you can contact.<br \/>If this interests anyone, please e-mail me.
