Mixed Roots complicates the narrative around race and identity—dispelling narrow ideas that there is ever one “right” or singular way for folks to identify. Born out of a community of writers formed through editor Anne Liu Kellor’s annual writing workshop, Mixed Roots collects 29 essays (plus additional resources) infused with a deep examination of privilege, microaggressions, whiteness, ancestral trauma, internalized racism, history, and paradoxical truths—going beyond common tropes found in many mixed-race narratives. We all carry in our bodies the historical legacies, confusion, trauma, and harm caused by racialized experiences—Mixed Roots says we are multilayered, not easily defined or contained by one story, and as such, can speak to us all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/576c31c8f7e0abd30d4dcf1c/ac8af71d-7377-4401-8623-363f89ee00da/AnneLiuKellor_FullSize+%281%29.jpg Home - about anne Anne Liu Kellor is a mixed-race Chinese American writer, editor, and teacher based in Seattle.

I love to help others trust in their own essential voice and to make meaning from their experiences. As a facilitator and guide, I seek to create nourishing spaces where deep personal inquiry can meet a broader awareness of the larger systemic realities that shape our lives and how we are all interconnected. As an editor, I see myself as a collaborator with you, offering my intuitive and craft-based feedback, but reminding you that you are the authority on your own work - you get to decide what resonates or not. In my classes and as a coach, I encourage brave and vulnerable sharing through writing, listening, and witnessing. As we call forth specific memories and details and ask authentic questions, together we can seek to hold the messy complexity of our evolving selves— and each other— with compassion, kindness, and care. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/576c31c8f7e0abd30d4dcf1c/92f4a46a-aece-4c49-a038-35a4410def5d/image1+%2829%29.jpeg Work with Me - Make it stand out Members of the 2022 - 2023 Yearlong Creative Nonfiction Manuscript Cohort in Anne’s yard for the final in-person celebration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/576c31c8f7e0abd30d4dcf1c/880a1bc9-1d10-457a-b1e8-f8257e1de27d/image0+%2869%29.jpeg Work with Me - Make it stand out Members of the 2023 - 2024 Yearlong Manuscript Cohort at the final optional but encouraged gathering in Seattle. http://www.anneliukellor.com/coming-soon daily 0.75 2021-03-24 http://www.anneliukellor.com/contact-1 daily 0.75 2026-02-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/576c31c8f7e0abd30d4dcf1c/ed849356-fb7b-482a-87c0-854aa98f4625/AnneLiuKellor_B%26W_FullSize.jpg Contact - Contact Hi, I’d love to hear from you!

As a young, multiracial, American woman, I traveled through China, the country of my mother’s birth. Along the way, I tried on different roles—seeker, teacher, student, girlfriend, artist, and daughter— continually asking myself: Why am I called to make this journey? Whether witnessing a Tibetan sky burial, teaching English in Chengdu, visiting my grandmother in LA, or falling in love with a Chinese painter, at heart I sought intimacy with others, even as I was all too aware of my silences and separation.
