The Ash & Yabs Podcast

An insightful episode where we discuss: 
•What does it mean to have parents from different ethnicities  
•Being mixed race, living in todays world & during the BLM movement
•How might mixed race people identify themselves & how others may identify them   
•How the upbringing of a mixed race person can determine which side we identify more strongly with, despite the colour of their skin  

And plenty more… 

P.s: Excuse the dip in volume on Elishia’s side, she’s new to this. Lol
