It’s Eastern Hunnies Monday and this week, we’re sitting down with the award-winning Mixed Up podcast duo, Emma and Nicole, to spill the tea on dating as a mixed person, fetishisation, stereotypes and bias.

We unpack microaggressions, explore Black and Asian allyship, and laugh (a LOT) while talking about the messy, beautiful complexities of mixed-race identity.

Self-interrogation is the theme of the day – because the only way to grow, heal, and show up as a compassionate human is to really look at yourself. Expect hot takes, belly laughs, and some real talk about yellowface, appropriation, and dating as a mixed person (yes, we went there!).

Whether you’re navigating dating apps, exploring your own mixed heritage, or just love unapologetic conversations about race and culture, this episode is for you. Emma and Nicole also drop insights from their book The Half Of It: Exploring the Mixed-Race Experience, which is now out in paperback edition. 📚✨

So grab your headphones, pour a drink (or three), and get ready to banter, reflect, and celebrate the full spectrum of mixed identity with us.
