She added that she believes Khai will nonetheless grow up feeling proud of her origins and intends for eventual discussions addressing such issues to take place organically. Is what I am, or what I have, enough to do what I feel is right? But then, also, is that taking advantage of the privilege of having the whiteness within me, right? Am I allowed to speak for this side of me, or is that speaking on something that I don’t experience enough to know?” You go through life trying to figure out where you fit in racially. She continued, “In certain situations, I feel-or I’m made to feel-that I’m too white to stand up for part of my Arab heritage. It’s something I’ve always thought about my whole life.” “We are that first generation of those mixed races, and then that comes with that first generational experience of being like, ‘Oh damn, I’m the bridge!’ That’s not something that my parents experienced or that they can really help me through. “ think about it and talk about it a lot as partners and it’s something that’s really important to us, but it’s also something that we first experienced ourselves,” Hadid told the magazine.
On being asked her sentiments on raising a mixed child, Hadid reflected on her own sense of identity growing up, sharing that she, at times, feels like she's teetering between the several distinct cultures that comprise her multiethnic heritage. In an interview with i-Dpublished today, Gigi Hadid opened up about her pregnancy parenting with her boyfriend, Zayn Malik and navigating her multiethnic identity, along with that of her daughter, Khai Hadid Malik.
