Color Blind- A Mixed Girl’s Perspective on Biracial Life
NOW AVAILABLE
Color Blind- A Mixed Girl’s Perspective on Biracial Life is a ground-breaking piece of non-fiction that captures the true essence of what it means to be biracial in today’s world. Tiffany Rae delves into the development of racial identity and uses stories of her life to express the confusion and chaos that too often defines biracial existence.
Color Blind engages, inspires and transforms readers.
Tiffany Rae has written this book for the demographic that she serves: multiracial families, mixed-race children and biracial couples. With the aim of developing a clearer understanding of the factors that affect a biracial individual’s identity and life, Color Blind provides a framework in which parents, caregivers and educators are asked to examine the role of family, schools and peers as they relate to the racial identity development of biracial individuals.
This book is for everyone so grab your copy now!

[...] a book that she hopes will help parents of biracial children deal with unique challenges. “Color Blind” is life coach Tiffany Rae Reid’s attempt to provide a guide for parents, caregivers, and [...]
Racism is alive and well! My husband and I own a floor restoration business, he being Chinese and me Caucasian of course. If my husband tried to answer the phone or make the initial contact, the clients would never give him the time of day.
It is so ridiculous to the point that people think I am the owner and my husband is one of my employees. If we told people that we are married we wouldn’t get any work at all.
On the other hand I have written a book about our meeting and marring. Our marriage started as a Green Card Marriage and we lived in separate states. We ended up falling in love and have been married 7 years now and I adopted his 7 year-old son from China. People love hearing about our story, so I am confused, they like our story but don’t want my husband working for them unless I am involved.
My only hope is that people eventually become accepting of all cultures and find greatness in everyone!

Wow Wendy,
Thanks for sharing your story. I see we share the whole, “not ____ for ____ people and and not ____ for ____ people” issue. In my case, people love hearing my story of being biracial but lose sight of the fact that then AND now I am “not black enough for black people and not white enough for white people”. Not in all situations mind you but in just enough to let me know that racism, prejudice and stereotyping still exist. So onward and forward with my crusade to end colorblindness in every family, classroom and boardroom. Hats off to you and your husband. Thank you for following your heart and not giving in, THEN or NOW, to the limitations of this world.

Tiffany,
Your book was waiting for me when I got home Tuesday. My intention was to skim through it and read it over the weekend. I ended up reading it from cover to cover! I could not put it down. I am not bi-racial but I am a victim of prejudice. I wish that I had read your book years ago. I wish someone had taught my Mother how to deal with my Father’s problem.
He graduated at the top of his class, he had a good job with the railroad then he was drafted into the Army. He suffered an injury in a battle in Belgium. He was given a honorable discharge and set home with brain damage. He suffered from post traumatic syndrome, he drank to forget but that didn’t work. The drunker he got the worse it got he would relive the war, hide behind chairs, trees and shoot at the enemy.
My Mother was never home because she had to work to support us. Sometimes, he would lock me in a closet to protect me – I guess from the German’s. To make a long story short when I was 15 he tried to strangle me because he didn’t want me to have to deal with a cruel world and thought I would be better off dead. He was arrested and sent to a mental hospital for the 5th or 6th time. I wasn’t told why he was like he was untill a Doctor tried to explain it to me. I used to ask her what was wrong him she would either ignore me and tell me to leave her alone or just say she didn’t know.
Years later she told me she was ashamed of him and didn’t know what to do so she didn’t do anything.
My Aunt finally told me what happened to him, maybe if I had known I wouldn’t have hated him and feared him all my life. I never made my peace with him and I am having trouble forgiving my Mother.
I never could have friends how could I bring a friend home to a Father like him.
I was shunned, teased, laughed at, endured side remarks about my “crazy Dad”.
Had someone with your insight and ability had worked with my Mom my life would have been a different story.
God gave you the experience and ability to open the eyes of the world.
I know your book is about bi-racial children/families but it crosses the line into how to teach your children how to deal with any issue that sets them apart and isolates them for others. I don’t know of anyone that would not benift from reading it.
This book should be a madatory read for everyone.
Thank you for being you and what you have to offer.
I just finished reading it for the second time and it is helping me to understad and work on forgiving Mom.
I wish she was still here so she could read your book and we could work through things.
When you do your interviews etc maybe you can also let folks know your book can help then with all types of prejudice.
My grandaughter has a half sister that is handicapped so I am going to send Crystal your book to help her and Erin deal with the comments they are bound to hear.
You are blessed – God chose you to teach life’s lessons.
