Rashida Jones, daughter of Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton, recently spoke out about being biracial and how she was turned away from an all-black sorority.

“I definitely learned my lesson. I’m back to that place were I’m like, ‘You know what? I’m black, I’m white, I’m Jewish, I’m Irish, I’m Portuguese, I’m Welsh, what the f**k ever.’ To me it’s so inconsequential. “People still say things to me like, ‘Oh my god, you’re black? I would’ve never guessed that.’ And I just think, I can’t help your ignorance. There are bi-racial people who look like me or who look like Alicia Keys or who look like Halle Berry. I’m so proud to be so many things.” Source

In other news, Rashida has recently launched an eco-friendly clothing line called Laloo with her partner Angela Wilcox. The line features items made with organic cotton.

Jones told Lucky Mag, “It was important that everything be reasonably priced and look great on a range of body types.”
