“Check All That Apply” is a monthly town hall for people who identify as Biracial, Multiracial, and/or Third Culture. We invite Multiracial and Third culture members of the community to join us for food, conversation, and fellowship.
“Mixed-ish: A Conversation on Multiracial Media Representation”
Tuesday, March 3 — 5:30 – 7 p.m.
Moseley 221
What does it mean to have multiracial media representation? What does it look like to move past the Black/White binary for multiracial images in the media? What did the show “Mixed-ish” get right and wrong about multiracial families in the U.S.? Join us as we unpack these questions, and more!
“Gate Keeping: Who is and Who isn’t Enough”
Wednesday, March 4 — 5:30 to 7:00 p.m.
Moseley 221
“You’re not Black, You’re Mixed”. “You don’t look Asian”. “Are you sure you’re Latinx?” Often Multiracial people face questions about their identities. How can communities hold space for multiracial individuals? What does it mean for communities to decide who is and who isn’t enough? How do we navigate these conversations? Join the CREDE as we talk about how Gate Keeping has effected communities and community members over time.
