Mixed in the Arts
There just isn’t enough conversation about what it’s like being mixed-race - about the fact that regardless of what people are mixed with, mixed-race individuals share similar experiences and struggles. And it can be so easy to forget that we aren’t alone. But simultaneously, there is such beauty in the wide diversity of our stories. In this podcast, Jisel (Waitress, Hamilton) sits down with other mixed artists to chat about their experience being mixed in and out of show biz, offering a safe space for creatives to share their journeys, struggles, and triumphs. And hopefully, this podcast will help strengthen the sense of community for mixed folks everywhere while also proving everyone out there isn’t all that different.
