    Conscious Motherhood with Trish Boes

    Motherhood can be a complex conversation for many. In this episode, Trish and I unpack what it means to be a mixed kid having mixed kids, what conscious mothering looks like when you're raising a global citizen...and what exactly it means to be a global citizen. Pulling themes from previous episodes like Alisha's episode about crossing cultures & borders, Trish talks about the ways her own movement has informed the way she's choosing to raise her daughter and the professional path she's taking.

    Crossing Cultures & Borders with Alisha Neverson

Listen as we unpack crossing cultures, crossing borders, and the nuances of being black depending on where you are in the States, Canada, the Grenadines, or even Brazil. Alisha and I discuss the social impacts of social media, choosing sides, discrimination and violence, tough conversations with family, and what it means to be a mixed black woman living in the States in 2023.

    Season 1 Round Table: The Power of a Name

    To celebrate the launch of Mixed Feelings Radio Season 2, we sat down with our friends from Season 1 to discuss the complexities, intimacies, and intricacies of our names. We all have one and with it sometimes comes joy but equally, the possibility of grief. As mixed people, our names are that much more important to how we choose to identify. In this episode, you'll hear Hannah, Will, Arman, Jon, and Greg explore their mixed feelings about their given names, nicknames, and chosen names. We sat down together in one room to really connect and foster the community we've all been longing for. Stay tuned for Season 2 coming soon! Follow us on Instagram @mixedfeelingsradio

    What's in a name? with Kelsea Knowles-Au

    Many people (mixed and not) have complicated relationships with their given names. For me, it has been a traumatic point of stress at times, and an opportunity to celebrate at other times. In this solo episode, I explore my own name and the mixed feelings I have about it. We also discuss the end-of-season round table coming in the fall.  If you want to unpack some of your own feelings about your name, send us a voice note below or shoot us a DM.

    Fatherhood with Greg Washington

    In the final conversation of the season, I talk all things "Fatherhood" with my friend & new father Greg. With complicated relationships with our fathers comes many mixed feelings. This episode covers topics we've discussed throughout the season: representation, being an undercover POC, the masculinization of black men, and everything in between. When we think about fathers, we sometimes think of the ones we had (or didn't), the ones we hope to be, or hoped we had, and the ones that come into our lives in unexpected ways. I'm grateful to have been a sounding board for some never-before-had conversations and a platform to unpack some feelings about fatherhood with Greg.  If you want to unpack some of your own feelings about fatherhood, fathers, and father figures...send us a voice note below or shoot us a DM.

    Stereotypes of a Black male misunderstood with Jon Adediji

    In this episode, Jon and I discuss some of the stereotypes he faces as a Black man. We chat about the ways in which his mixed identity is complicated by his relationship with his father, the way he walks through the world as a black man but sometimes identifies as otherwise, the sexualization of black men and how that came to be, and the ways we protect ourselves when it comes to the how we even handle our mixed feelings. I've known Jonn for about 10 years and I learned a lot throughout this conversation, I hope you enjoy & learn some things as well.  If you want to unpack some of your own feelings about how you interact with stereotypes, send us a voice note below or shoot us a DM.

    Being an Undercover POC with Arman Sadrzadeh

    What does it mean to be white-passing? What does it feel like? Where does cultural confidence come from? How do you feel about your appearance? This episode navigates the complexities of appearance and looking ethnically ambiguous. Arman and I gently graze the subject of nature vs. nurture in the confidence of our upbringings and how the connection to culture can sometimes aid in confidence in culture. We also discuss the ways our white-passing may affect or impact the way we advocate for other POC and ourselves in uncomfortable moments.  If you want to unpack some of your own feelings about your appearance, send us a voice note below or shoot us a DM.  Follow us on Instagram @mixedfeelingsradio

    Asian Masculinity & Representation with Will Murata Shields

    Will & I discuss the way media has had a hand in shaping his view of Asian Masculinity and how he was able to change his perspectives. We chat about the new wave of Asian Representation in film & television and what that means for changing and challenging stereotypes. Stereotypes of Asian Masculinity and Representation in media are intrinsically linked and we really only scratch the surface here. One quick warning: this episode discusses a mass shooting involving a young half-Asian-American man. Will was concerned we said his name too often & gave this person more agency than he should have and I don't disagree. This is a space for uncomfortable growth so listen with caution.

    Dating & Fetishization with Hannah Chieko Leigh-Bell

    In this first Mixed Feelings Radio conversation, I speak with Hannah, a mutual friend and ex of an ex of mine. We unpack being half-Asian and fetishization in the world of dating and hospitality. We also discuss what it's like to consider who you date in the context of carrying on your bloodline, whether or not we're fetishizing ourselves when we're asking to be seen by others, and merely scratch the surface of potential future conversations about generational trauma.  Follow us on Instagram @mixedfeelingsradio

    Coming Soon: Mixed Feelings Radio

    Allow me to introduce Mixed Feelings Radio! This is a special thing for me, a place for me to explore my own ✨ mixed feelings ✨ about being mixed with others with mixed experiences. A candid space to discuss our mixed feelings together. It was born out of a place of my own discomfort of not knowing where I fit in. I will be chatting with bi-racial people to start but I hope to expand the conversation to anyone with mixed feelings about their experiences whether that be adoption, growing up trans and so many experiences in between and beyond. I hope you listen with an open heart and feel the feels with me. 🧡 Follow us on Instagram @mixedfeelingsradio
