Mixed in the Arts

There just isn’t enough conversation about what it’s like being mixed-race - about the fact that regardless of what people are mixed with, mixed-race individuals share similar experiences and struggles. And it can be so easy to forget that we aren’t alone. But simultaneously, there is such beauty in the wide diversity of our stories. In this podcast, Jisel (Waitress, Hamilton) sits down with other mixed artists to chat about their experience being mixed in and out of show biz, offering a safe space for creatives to share their journeys, struggles, and triumphs. And hopefully, this podcast will help strengthen the sense of community for mixed folks everywhere while also proving everyone out there isn’t all that different.

Send us a text We kick off with my personal journey into the world of DIY nails, a new hobby that's teaching me the profound importance of embracing the learning process and overcoming the fear of failure. Our discussion then navigates the labyrinth of casting in the entertainment industry as Professor Streeter and I dissect the gritty realities faced by actors of mixed heritage, addressing the tangled issues of representation, colorism, and the label of being "ethnically ambiguous." From the frustrations of fitting into specific ethnic roles to the broader implications for labor and equity, we delve into how these dynamics play out in a capitalist society. We confront the fragmented sense of self that so many experience, advocating for the necessity of self-love and the embrace of one's entire identity. Highlighting the importance of inclusivity and the interconnectedness of humanity, we reflect on the historical and contemporary significance of mixed-race individuals. This episode is a heartfelt voyage through complex themes, aiming to inspire and challenge our listeners to rethink societal norms and embrace the beauty of diverse identities.

Send us a text In this episode, Jisel sits down with UCLA Professor Caroline A. Streeter to discuss the complexities of mixed-race identities. Professor Streeter offers a nuanced view of navigating identity amidst societal pressures as she shares personal stories from her childhood and examines the influence of popular media on perceptions of beauty and identity. They discuss the unique challenges of growing up in military families, the strategic decisions parents make to protect kids from racial discrimination, the longing for certain physical features, and the impact of mixed cultural heritage. The episode also covers critical dialogue on mixed-race identities through various historical and academic lenses. We touch on significant milestones like the 2000 U.S. Census and the lifting of anti-Asian immigration barriers in 1965, and how these events have shaped the mixed-race population and identity in America. Professor Streeter shares insights into race and representation in theater and film, and dives into the implications of modern artistic interpretations like "Hamilton: An American Musical." Tune in for the first part of an enriching exploration of race, ethnicity, and cultural representation, and stay tuned for part two of their conversation.
