just a quickie about creativity and my identity

I love how creativity works, in writing a blog about U.S. Black History Month, I of course was thinking about my own identity as a Black woman who is multi-ethnic, and how in the UK people mostly would just call me mixed race, which as an American who was born into the myth of the "one drop rule" I don't identify simply as mixed race... which then got me researching the origins of the one drop rule and then I realized that this is all research for a piece I'm creating with BGB for our Culture Classics show in May. Creativity rocks!!!!

And of course since I just spent the last 40 minutes reading all this info on the one drop rule, now I'm running out of time to write this blog about Black History Month. So stay tuned...


peace and movement,
