OUR VISION
We envision a world that honors multidimensional identities, confronts the ideology of white supremacy, and moves toward a society rooted in liberation.
OUR MISSION
By harnessing the power of shared stories, we open space for diverse Mixed communities and champion social justice.
WHAT WE DO:
1) We raise public awareness of the stories and storytellers shaping the Arts, Culture, Education, Media, and Politics of the Mixed experience.
2) We promote and help produce arts and cultural programming alongside national and international organizations (visit our PARTNERS page).
WHAT WE MEAN BY ‘Mixed Roots’:
It means identifying yourself, or being identified by others, as ‘other’ in your society — especially around race, culture, or ethnicity, and within relationships and families.
WHAT WE MEAN BY ‘STORY’:
A story can take countless forms. It is how you express yourself, and it is both personal and collective. Stories show up as art, dress, music, lyrics, poetry, film, spoken word, a play, politics, activism, oral history, and much more…how do you tell yours?
WHAT WE DO FOR YOU:
Have a film, website, art show, performance, or other event that speaks to the Mixed experience? Let us help you spread the word. We want to actively spotlight how you tell your story to the Mixed community and the wider world. Click ‘Promote Your Story‘ to share more about you and your work.
Planning an event for your school, organization, or group? Want to feature mixed “storytellers”? We keep an active database of artists, filmmakers, authors, and performers and can help bring them to your next event. Email us at [email protected].
We’d love to hear from you!
