afterword

This project has been a learning experience, to say the least. More than anything, I have learned that I had such little understanding of how much there was to discover when I first began writing about biraciality. 

​

With learning, however, comes the desire to know more. I thought that I would find closure through my research and personal reflection—yet I feel further from it than ever before.

​

A beautiful, and necessary, characteristic of biraciality is that it will never be solved. I began this project by looking for answers that simply do not exist, and never will.

​

With that being said, learning more about the nuances of biraciality has helped me to feel that I am not alone. This isn't something that everyone else has figured out. I didn't miss the "how to navigate life as a biracial person" memo. 

​

In creating this project, I found myself frequenting my gateway project on Colorism. This was for several reasons: the topic relevance, and the familiarity of completing a project without "solving a problem." Though my desire for a feeling of completion was less present during the creation of my gateway project, it was there nonetheless. â€‹

​

As this semester comes to a close, I am hopeful about my ability to carry this project with me through the next chapter of my life and beyond.
