TRANSCRIPT

Our missionTo see mixed-raced people at the heart of mixed-race discussions.

• Mix-d: is pronounced mixed - at all times.

• When we remove artificial additives (commonly know as E’s or E numbers) from food we are left with a fresh, healthy, artificial free product. Similarly, by removing the letter ‘e’ from ‘Mix-d:’ we are left with a fresh, healthy and artificial free ‘Mix-d:’ (in this case referring to past historical prejudices) to make way for a fresh new dialogue.

• The colon at the end of ‘Mix-d:’ is used exactly the same way it would be used in any punctuation. It means: ‘from the general to the specific.’ We think of ‘Mix-d:’ as a tree trunk with a number of branches. The colon represents where the branches reach out from the trunk.

our term for mixed-race

Mix-d: is our concept. It seeks to tell it exactly as it is, without awkwardness, apologies, excessive explanations or overblown celebrations. Mix-d: is about living comfortably and confidently without being pulled between various labels.

What we doWe talk frankly and honestly with young people, professionals, parents and carers on the subject of mixed-race identity. Our work is specifically tailored to meet the needs of an often neglected group.

How we workWe engage with young people and professionals through Conferences, Training, Workshops, Art Projects and bespoke solutions.

Do you want to play a crucial role in moving this discussion forward?Help us move the discussion from ‘problematic to modern’. Your contribution is important.
