Elyse Cizek / Writer, Model-Actress & Singer-Songwriter

Multiracial Whiteboy

After talented and self-proclaimed multi-hyphenate, Elyse Cisek, got called out on a woman of color of L.A. Facebook Group regarding police brutality, she asked herself... What If I'm Wrong? That question has been the first of many steps on her road to finding her own sense of truthfulness. Elyse talks to Kim about her riveting article Dear White Friends that was published on Medium, a crucial moment of having to choose her ethnicity at the DMV as a teenager, the moment she found a sense of acceptance after watching Beyonce's Lemonade, and forgiving herself and others on her own terms. A brutally honest discussion about the consequences of not accepting one's racial identity, and how it led to destructive personal behavior. https://elysecizek.medium.com/
