Emma Slade Edmondon & Nicole Ocran
Tuesday evening, 8 October - 7pm to 8:30pm
at the Library (free admission)
Authors Emma Slade Edmondson and Nicole Ocran, hosts of the podcast Mixed Up, discuss what it truly means to be of mixed heritage.
Emma and Nicole want to break down barriers and open up a deeper dialogue of the mixed-race experience. Although this book was born out of a desire to speak directly to the mixed-race community, they discovered there is something in it for everyone. Whether you are mixed, you know someone mixed, if you have ever considered dating outside of your race, if you’re a parent committed to sharing a more diverse view of the world with your child, or indeed an adult wanting to expand your views on culture and identity – then The Half of It is for you.
They discuss what it truly means to be mixed-race, delving into everything from culture and identity to interracial relationships, to adoption, to understanding the historical context of mixed-race people – ultimately culminating in a rounder and deeper appreciation for the mixed-identity.
