“It all started with the election of 2016. I noticed that people were (and still are) scared of the country blending along racial lines. Afraid of something that we truly don’t understand because there weren’t enough people able to tell the real story of what’s like to be mixed. I began trying to make a film, but then condensed it down into a blog. The blog enabled me to network with other people who shared a similar experience to myself. People who, for the first time, saw someone who was finally speaking to their lived experience.”

“We are creating representation for the Mixed perspective and trying to examine the nature behind racial categories. Being multiracial and multicultural is something that is becoming more commonplace as the years go on. But way we understand being Mixed is by trying to figure out which box someone fits in.”
