This week is a bit of an emotional one for me. A listener reached out to discuss the potentially triggering reaction to my logo based on the specific era of the Japanese flag that is reflected in the artwork. I discuss this and what is required of us once we realize that something we may love is viewed as a symbol of oppression to others.  * * * If you are in need of masks, that are fashionab...

She is a Psychologist, Professor, a Mixed Race Advocate, and the perfect person to bring us back to our Mixed Race narratives. While there is still a lot to talk about as it pertains to Black Lives Matter and the current uprisings, it is also important to continue sharing our stories. This discussion does both. We will meet...

This week would have been more focused on Juneteenth if not for the continued horrifying state of things. This past week so many murders and so-called "suspected suicides by hanging" have happened one after another while the Black Lives Matter movement, protests, and uprisings are happening. It gets to a point where you feel there is no hope sometimes. Something I started to notice was this concep...

It is hard not to see the people protesting all over the world, day in and day out, and feel like you are not doing enough. But there are so many different ways to engage in activism that you don't have to feel like you're not doing enough if you are not on your frontlines. Personalize your activism, find ways in your daily life, and in your local community to effect change. Whether it is focusing...

MixedGirlMane takes a step back from regular episodes to address the Uprisings happening in particular in the United States but since the time of record has now spread around the globe.

I hope that if you are physically at the protests you are returning home safe...
