Today’s story is about Colleen Brooks (@regular_leen), a mixed race, queer woman who was adopted at birth by a loving family in Dayton, Ohio. We had the opportunity to learn from Colleen how all the pieces and parts of her identity make her whole and how they have contributed to actualizing self love.

🎥 We captured Colleens’s whole story in a short doc.

About this Series

Where Are You Frøm?

"Where are you from?" is a series exploring identity, belonging, and claiming where you are from on your own terms. ⁠It is a charged question with no straightforward answer. We are a mixture of experiences and identities. Rich, vibrant, complex, and multidimensional.
