Let us know what you think of this format! If it’s something you all enjoy, maybe we’ll continue releasing more solo episodes.

Episode 10: Being Mixed Race
What does it mean to be mixed race? And how does the duality of being from two cultures impact someone’s world view? This is a special episode where we collaborated with two friends and our dear listeners in order to understand these two questions. Being mixed race is undoubtedly a unique experience with both its flourishing highs and ambiguous lows, but most importantly, it is the celebration of diversity and cultural richness through the ability to draw from and experience multiple identities.
