Check out photos from the 2nd Annual: What Are You? a discussion about mixed heritage

Five great speakers presented on their professional and personal responses to the question 'What Are You?" and other themes surrounding multicultural family and identity. A great audience joined in small group discussions sparked by subjects raised by the presentations. Everyone agreed we wanted more time to keep talking! Thank you all for participating.

Jen Chau, founder of Swirl
Erica Chito Childs, author of Fade to Black and White: Interracial Images in Popular Culture
Heidi Durrow, co-host of Mixed Chicks Chat and author of The Girl Who Fell from the Sky

And thank you to Brooklyn Brewery for the beer!
