Consciously choosing a surname for a mixed-race child

What's in a name? Well, on paper, a lot is inferred by reading a name. Heritage is inferred from it. And for POC, choosing a name is laden with visions of the future for their child. Because they will get judged on their name and on the colour of their skin. Removing the first barrier of entry through giving your child a "Western" sounding name is something many parents do consciously. #surname #whatsinaname #mixedkids #mixedheritage #mixedrace #race #parenting
