Growing up mixed race in Japan and Australia | My story & experience

Hey,

This one's a very special one to me. I share my experience of growing up mixed race in Japan and Australia, and what it was like to move overseas from Japan at seven. I talk about being bullied, being ashamed about my Japanese, feeling disconnected from Japanese culture, wanting to be white, feeling outcast & the sense that no one truly sees you as one of their own anywhere.

I hope you enjoy this candid video, and please share any of your own thoughts, feeling & stories if you feel open to it :)

Sending lots of love,
Grace
