Mixing Race with Dr. Nicole Haggard and Darryl Finkton Jr.

Mixed race children are simply the blending of two people with different skin colors and ethnic backgrounds. Yet, their very existence debunks the myth of race. This episode reveals the economic and divisive roots of mixed-race identity, how the spiritual dilemma of these origins persists today (07:15), and how we can start to think differently about ancestral healing (12:50). Special guest Dr. Nicole Haggard of CIME joins hosts Aliah MaJon, Gillian Shelley, and Joy Donnell to dive into how TV and film have taught us to see the mixing of race, aka miscegenation, and mixed-race children (02:26). Darryl Finkton, Jr. shares his insight as a scientist and his work to course correct one of his ancestors through, End Poverty Make Trillions, his movement for universal basic income (11:36). Additional Resources: The Hollywood Production Code, or Hays Code, forbade the romance between different races, or miscegenation, in film. More can be found at Digital Collections of the Margaret Herrick Library. Occasionally, biracial twins are born with clear skin-color differences. It’s a rare circumstance that’s *been termed having “biracial twins.” #mixedrace #universalbasicincome
