So, where are you from?

No. Where are you really from?

Get this a lot? Even from complete strangers? The Atlanta Journal-Constitution wants to talk to you.

We’re writing about these questions and what they mean for Re: Race project, a new body of coverage on how we experience race and ethnicity in Georgia.

Email reporter Arielle Kass at akass@ajc.com to share your experience.
