This week on Militantly Mixed I’m joined by the brilliant Alison Hart, an OG Mixed Cousin who first appeared on Episode 24 back in 2018 with the release of her debut novel, Mostly White. Alison returns to share her stunning new novel, The In-between Sky, and we dive into creativity, identity, and what it means to write from a Mixed-race perspective.Talking with Alison felt like catching up with family because that’s exactly what it was. We reflected on the years between our first conversation, the evolution of her craft, and the power of storytelling from that “in-between” place so many of us know well.Grab the Book • Bookshop (supports indie stores + my affiliate page): https://bookshop.org/a/56052/9781963221053 • Amazon: https://amzn.to/3XgnR1jSupport a Native & Queer Bookshop!

11 Days to Free To Be: Screening While Mixed with Sarah Shuman
This week on Militantly Mixed, host Sharmane Fury is joined by filmmaker Sarah Shuman, who is not only a brilliant creative mind but also a member of the planning committee for Free To Be Fest. In this episode, Sarah shares her powerful experience screening her film, TSEHAI, at last year’s Free To Be Fest—for the first time ever with a fully Mixed audience.We dig into what it means to be seen, heard, and understood through the lens of a shared cultural identity—and how transformative that is compared to screening in predominantly non-Mixed spaces on the broader film festival circuit.Watch Sarah’s short film “TSEHAI” here:https://youtu.be/VhGhFGHHnjw?si=uGouMoOyKeCd7xZZVisit Sarah's sustainable picnic company, Solstice Picnics here.https://solsticepicnics.com/ or IG: https://www.instagram.com/solsticepicnics?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qrAt the time of airing, we are just 11 days away from the Free To Be Fest, happening August 9, 2025, in Los Angeles!Get your tickets now: https://freetobefest2025.rsvpify.com/Support our mission by donating or sponsoring someone else's attendance: https://www.paypal.com/biz/profile/freetobefestWhether you’re Mixed, allied, or just curious, this episode is a beautiful reminder of why representation and safe spaces by and for us matter.Militantly Mixed is a ManeHustle Media podcast, hosted and produced by Sharmane Fury.Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sharmanefury
