“What are you mixed with?” This is a question often posed to multi-racial & racially ambiguous folks, requiring them to reevaluate their identities, especially if they are members of the Black community. In this episode, two multi-racial girls from the Justice is Us Project, Alayna Maragh, and Angie Mejia, evaluate the intersectionality and complications of multi-racial identity, such as identity crisis, colorism, light skin privilege, apartheid, and more. Strap in, because it’s going to be one bumpy ride.

Angie (Angeles) Mejia is a queer Afro-Latinx activist, and a representative of the Justice is Us Project. When she's not advocating for a cause, she's often found writing poetry and speaking about her lived experiences, especially those conversations that often omit intersectionality.  They've been involved with the Afterschool Alliance and the Broward Youth Coalition. Her motto is "Always root for the underdog."

Alayna Maragh is a Blasian who represents the Justice is Us Project. With most of her ancestry coming from the very mixed island of Jamaica, there is still a lot of confusion on what exactly she is, however, she is still proud of her nationality and race(s). She currently attends a high school where most students are monoracial minorities. She is also currently working in the Charity Department on an immersive Web3 project, “The Jockey Experience.” She's been a part of Stranahan's Medical program for some time and wishes to branch out and explore what the world has to offer.
