多様なルーツを表す和語ってないんですかね。。。
「混血」はネガティブな印象が強いとよく聞きますので避けていますが、「ミックス」や「ルーツ」とかが通じない高齢の方との会話でわかりやすく伝える言葉ってなんでしょうか🤔

Are there any good JP non-katakana words to explain mixed heritage?
I know "konketsu" is a thing, but I've never heard it used in a positive way.
But then, there are older folks who don't understand the loanword uses of "mix(ed)" and "roots," so it makes me wonder if there aren't any good words for conversations with them 🤔

3/ i really need contact with other #MixedRace #lgbt. i crave contact with other #InterracialMarriage couples. I wish... and want to know other #BlackGirlMagic who suffer the indignities of these kinds of interactions... because...

i'm longing for familiarity and understanding. i'm longing for the kind of support that "knowing" brings.

is anyone out there?

As architectural intern Amalia Sengupta Erenwine grapples with her nascent career in New York City and the consequences of her new relationship, her friend the Reverend Mildred McCaine plans a panel about medical marijuana at her Binghamton church.

Anne Marie Nakagawa's #documentary #examines what it means to have a background of #mixed #ancestries that cannot be easily categorized. By focusing on 7 #Canadians who have one parent from a #European background and one of a #VisibleMinority, she attempts to get at the root of what it means to be #MultiEthnic in a world that wants each person to fit into a single category.

My #FirstPublication in an academic journal was actually artwork - two portraits of my grandmothers, with reflection on being #MixedRace / #Multiracial, #antiAsianRacism, and the pandemic.

Unconventional but I'm so glad the guest editors at Journal of Asian American Studies #JAAS gave me a chance.

I think you can see the #illustrations at the link, but here are the originals, and a different color variation I liked but didn't submit. Eye contact in images.

People often ask me what I listen to when I’m in creating mode, whether in painting or writing. This year was mostly writing. I finished the 10 year trajectory of working on my novel Otter Coast, a medical marijuana mystery (to be published in a few weeks - novel #2 in the ecofiction series) listening primarily to Ludovico Einaudi. And according to Spotify, I am in the top listeners to Einaudi in the US (probably in the world, I would guess). Here’s to creative influence! Thank you Mr. Einaudi!

Hi @zhivi ! You asked me to describe my ecofiction... here is my best go at it, this morning. 

I write for myself and others who are interested in visualizing what is possible, from a perspective of where we are starting. It's not science fiction. It's not realistic fiction. It's somewhere in between. I call it Visionary Ecofiction. I've written three novels, one is published (The Erenwine Agenda, with a focus on hydraulic fracturing, the natural gas extraction process), another is about to be published (Otter Coast, with a focus on medical marijuana and creative states of consciousness) and the third is - well, still being written through Nanowrimo (Rail is the working title, although I have changed it up a few times already; it has a focus on the logistics of high speed transit and community planning - and the protagonist is aiming to save the world 🙂).

All three interweave romance, although they're not romances. I call them adventures, love stories, mysteries... a little of all of these. Visionary Ecoficiton encapsulates the intrigue of all these genres, for me. The work is typically classified as Literary Fiction or Contemporary Fiction, and is also listed as Visionary and Metaphysical Fiction. The Erenwine Agenda was shortlisted for an international publishing award in the Visionary and Metaphysical category, and reached #5 on Amazon in the same group. It's on several Goodreads Lists (including Powell's Books') for classic and new Ecofiction and CliFi (Climate Change Fiction). I began publishing myself, and then branched out into publishing work of other authors when I realized there are many other people like me, who are optimists in the world and who write about ecology. We needed a platform! I created one. (This is the link.) https://www.aseiarts.com/

I think one of the best encapsulations of my work comes in the form of an interview conducted by the old Ecofiction.com site, now Dragonfly.eco. It was written a while ago when I was still married, and was not as far along in my writing trajectory - yet it summarizes the spirit of my work very clearly. (Thanks Mary for updating my name!) https://dragonfly.eco/maia-kb-chowdhury/ @ecofiction

My work (partly what you and I began talking about) also touches on race, identity and social context. I think that is as important in today's emerging conversations about climate as is the basic underlayment of ecology in ecofiction. How we identify ourselves and each other IS our cultural ecology. As a woman of mixed race, who identifies with more than one group, I feel a personal responsibility (and pleasure) to share my own intersectional experience through writing. 

Thank you for asking!

Hi @zhivi ! You asked me to describe my ecofiction... here is my best go at it, this morning. 

I write for myself and others who are interested in visualizing what is possible, from a perspective of where we are starting. It's not science fiction. It's not realistic fiction. It's somewhere in between. I call it Visionary Ecofiction. I've written three novels, one is published (The Erenwine Agenda, with a focus on hydraulic fracturing, the natural gas extraction process), another is about to be published (Otter Coast, with a focus on medical marijuana and creative states of consciousness) and the third is - well, still being written through Nanowrimo (Rail is the working title, although I have changed it up a few times already; it has a focus on the logistics of high speed transit and community planning - and the protagonist is aiming to save the world 🙂).

All three interweave romance, although they're not romances. I call them adventures, love stories, mysteries... a little of all of these. Visionary Ecoficiton encapsulates the intrigue of all these genres, for me. The work is typically classified as Literary Fiction or Contemporary Fiction, and is also listed as Visionary and Metaphysical Fiction. The Erenwine Agenda was shortlisted for an international publishing award in the Visionary and Metaphysical category, and reached #5 on Amazon in the same group. It's on several Goodreads Lists (including Powell's Books') for classic and new Ecofiction and CliFi (Climate Change Fiction). I began publishing myself, and then branched out into publishing work of other authors when I realized there are many other people like me, who are optimists in the world and who write about ecology. We needed a platform! I created one. (This is the link.) https://www.aseiarts.com/

I think one of the best encapsulations of my work comes in the form of an interview conducted by the old Ecofiction.com site, now Dragonfly.eco. It was written a while ago when I was still married, and was not as far along in my writing trajectory - yet it summarizes the spirit of my work very clearly.
