Using counter-storytelling, this manuscript provides auto-ethnographies from two Black-biracial scholars. The authors' narratives present an intimate account of how being half - Black is experienced by Black-biracial individuals. Specifically, this study details the accounts of how two Black-biracial scholars, who don't fit into the rigid Black-white racial binaries of American society, construct their racial identity through intra- and inter-group conflict. Their counter-stories demonstrate how Black-biracial individuals must navigate the intersections of their racial identity formation while attempting to find solace in a racialized world with limited biracial examples. Their stories detail multiple intersections of racial acceptance and rejection from those within the Black community and outside of it; as well as the intersections of sexuality, the meaning of being Black, being a nigga, affirmation and otherness from non-biracial people, which all culminate to highlight the lives of those who are considered half something, but racially incomplete.
