Consider with Olivia Yokubonis
"I think growing up in a mixed race family, the looks that I would get doing simple things like going to the grocery store with my mom, would make me uncomfortable. It made me wonder what they were thinking, and why they felt the need to look for such a long period of time, like something was wrong. But my sweet mom always reminded me that there is nothing wrong with what my family or I look like, and I consciously remind myself of that even in adult-hood."
