The Mixed Race Dance would be when Cultures come together in the Dance of life, blending in an intermingling of love, passion and romance, while giving rise to new Mixed Races.

The purpose of this book is to encourage everyone who is of mixed race descent to start to compile the various unique aspects of their mixed race identities, and so gain a clear perspective of their place in the world.

Create your own portfolio of your multiracial identity using this book as your template.
