TIKA SUMPTER OPENS UP ABOUT RAISING A BIRACIAL DAUGHTER, ‘SHE DOESN’T HAVE TO CHOOSE’

The biracial population is on the rise globally. In the United States, the 2020 Census revealed that over 10% of the population identified as being of two or more races, a significant increase from 2.9% in 1970. Recent estimates suggest that this trend continues, with projections indicating that by 2040, nearly one in five Americans will be of mixed race. In a recent interview with People Magazine, actress and producer, Tika Sumpter opened up about raising a biracial seven-year-old daughter, telling the outlet that, “she doesn’t have to choose at all.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tika Sumpter (@tikasumpter) “We’re already talking to Ella about race,” Sumpter told the outlet in her interview. “Nick actually went to the library the other day and got a bunch of books on Pharaoh and Africa, and then one on civil rights. He’s reading this civil rights book out loud and he’s like, ‘This is infuriating!’ And Ella can’t even imagine that time. She’s like, ‘How could people do such a thing?'” Sumpter said that she and her husband, 41-year-old actor Nicholas James Muscarella, are committed to ensuring that Ella-Loren appreciates all sides of herself.
