In this episode of Raising the Next Gen, Sonia Dong speaks with Dr. Jennifer Noble (aka Dr. Jen), a clinical psychologist specializing in teens and mixed race identity. Dr. Jen shares valuable insights from her work with adolescents and parents and the complexities of identity, belonging, and independence during the tween and teen years.
Dr. Jen explains how mixed race teens often face additional layers of identity exploration and misunderstanding, emphasizing the importance of cultural exposure, validation, and access to diverse communities.
