Being Biracial: Where Our Secret Worlds Collide: Educators' Guide

Good, bad, ugly and illuminating—everyone has an opinion on race. As Biracial people continue trending, the discussion is no longer about a singular topic, but is more like playing a game of multi-level chess. The anthology, Being Biracial: Where Our Secret Worlds Collide, cites the multiracial experiences of twenty-four authors of all ages and backgrounds, from all over the world. It blends positivity, negativity, humor, pathos and realism in an enlightening exploration of what it means to be more than one ethnicity.

Being Biracial: Educators’ Guide now brings the topic to the classroom in a bold examination of race, including considered portraits of current gures from the multiracial community and a section of questions relating directly to the essays within the original book, with ample space for note-taking. Students are encouraged to re-examine these issues in new and thought-provoking ways, giving all aspects of the subject some vital air time at a key point in their academic development.

Following twenty years in corporate America, in 2008 Sarah and her husband gave up their jobs to relocate from California to Puerto Rico to be self- sustaining organic farmers. Within a year, it was evident one of them needed to return to work. Dreading the notion of commuting and the o ce politics so common in the corporate world, Sarah opted to live out her life-long dream of becoming a writer. A week after hanging her "Writer for hire" sign out, Sarah landed multiple jobs. Within three months, she had to hire more writers.

Six years later Sarah is the CEO of a content marketing agency. In December 2015 Sarah founded Coquí Press, a publishing company whose mission is to give a voice to those whose views run counter to the mainstream or whose voices have been silenced because of race, gender and/or sexual orientation. In May 2016 she co-launched Multiracial Media, a platform of artistic expression for those in the multiracial community.
