MIXED!: Mixed-Race Californians Share Stories of Joy and Complexity

Identity is always complicated, and for multiracial folks who straddle many identities, it can be isolating. It can also be invigorating and rich to belong to multiple communities and celebrate that complexity. The latest census shows it's demographic to pay attention to: 2020 data reflect a 276% increase in people who identify as multiracial compared to 2010. Sasha Khokha is joined by special guest host Marisa Lagos as they delve into the mixed race experience, grounded in their own backgrounds. We're kicking off our new series, Mixed! with a conversation with pioneering artist Kip Fulbeck, whose hapa project allowed mixed-race folks to answer the question "What Are You?" Plus, two listeners who share a similar Black/Filipina background, but straddle different generations. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
