Plot: In a short portrait piece, the filmmaker discusses her struggle to classify herself along racial lines, coming from a white mother and a black father. She questions identity, her perception of race, and what that means in reference to people who are mixed. Through explorations of her own sometimes unexpressed sentiments of race, 'shocking' performance art (including a 'literal visual representation' of a half black, half white individual), and candid moments of awareness, she uncovers an identity she did not completely know she already had accepted.—Chinisha Scott
