Hey everyone! In this special episode of "Mixed Feelings," I sit down with one of my best friends, Leia Felicilda. Leia is half Hawaiian Native Pacific Islander, and this is a milestone for the podcast—it’s the first time I’m chatting with someone who isn’t mixed with black and white.

Leia’s perspective was a revelation for me. Even though our backgrounds are different, our experiences growing up in predominantly white spaces felt eerily similar. It was incredible to see how much we had in common, and it just goes to show that many biracial kids face the same challenges and joys, no matter their specific ethnic mix.

We laughed, we got deep, and we shared stories that made us both realize we’re not alone in this journey. I loved every moment of our conversation, and I think you will too.

This episode is just the start—I’m so excited to bring more diverse voices and stories to the podcast. So, grab your headphones and join us for a heartfelt and eye-opening chat. You won’t want to miss it!

Episode Title: Growing Up Biracial with Friends Who Feel Like Family

In this heartfelt episode of Mixed Feelings, I sit down with two friends I've known for over a decade—biracial sisters and former volleyball teammates. We dive into the profound impact they've had on my life, serving as role models in an environment where diversity was scarce, and biracial representation was even rarer.

Our conversation gets deeply personal as we explore their family history, sharing stories of what it was like growing up in our school district. We discuss the unique challenges and triumphs we've faced as biracial individuals, shedding light on the complexities and beauty of our mixed heritage.

Join us as we reflect on our shared experiences and the importance of having a supportive community. I'm incredibly thankful for these sisters and this conversation, which highlights the power of connection and understanding in navigating our identities.

On the series second episode, Toussaint Morrison joins Quinn and Allye to talk about everything from colorism to Kathy Hilton and a little bit of terrifying history about everybody's favorite city to celebrate Mardi Gras. By the end of the episode the girls are still trying to decide what term best describes them. Are they biracial? Mixed? POC? Stick around and we might all find out.

In this episode, Quinn and Allye discuss the complexities of being racially ambiguous (even though they barely know how to say the word). In an over saturated story time, they explain the struggles of growing up being multi-racial and the tough conversations they've had to have with friends, family, and random strangers. Quinn dives into her family's background and Allye discusses her identity crisis. All that and more in this episode of Mixed Feeling's. 

In this introductory episode Quinn & Allye talk a little bit about who they are, how they met and why they're passionate about biracial people having a platform just to talk and learn about those who may have similarities to them. They're still working out some kinks but are beyond excited for this new journey and all of the opportunities they will have to learn about themselves throughout the process.
