Hello everyone this is Elle Pierre. Today I am going to talk about embracing my heritage and identity as a Multiracial teenager.

Different cultures bring different views on family. All my life my parents have told me how important family is. Although most cultures stress this, many cultures have different views on who the family are. My mom is from [...]
