We live in a nation of hyphens and I have always felt that a #hyphenated America was a weak #America. https://t.co/11hpt0zPfE

Who we are should not be determined by a hyphen. Who we are is American 🇺🇸.

I hope one day America’s
children will have to ask,
“What is a hyphenated
American ?", and the response
will be, “That’s how Americans
used to categorize
themselves.” -Nicole Draffen 🙏.

When I look into the mirror, I see an American. Not a culture, or race. What do you see? 🪞🇺🇸?

Hyphened-Nation was inspired by Nicole Draffen's travels overseas 🌊. It tells the story of her awakening during a stay in the United Kingdom where her vision was cleared of stereotypes and a certain veil was lifted from her eyes regarding her true identity as an American 🇺🇸.

What does “Don’t Check The
Box” stand for? 🤔

It stands for a life of freedom from stereotypes and social classification based on your skin tone, religion, gender, or sexuality. Don’t allow yourself to be put into a box! #hyphenednation #dontcheckthebox #dctb
