Konnichiwassup, cousins! Your favorite podcast is BACK! I’m so happy to announce the return of Militantly Mixed with a brand-new episode featuring the incredible Shannon Luders-Manuel, author of The One Who Loves You: A Memoir of Growing Up Biracial in a Black and White World.
In this episode, we dive into Shannon’s personal journey of navigating her biracial identity, the complexities of belonging, and how her lived experiences shaped her work as a person. We also discuss the importance of Mixed community and finding a way to belong on our own terms. This conversation is a heartfelt exploration of identity, family, and the power of storytelling to bridge racial and cultural divides.
You can purchase your copy of The One Who Loves You wherever books are sold, but please consider supporting local independent bookstores or ordering through bookshop.org to keep it in the community!

Konnichiwassup cousins, Sharmane is *almost* ready to return to a more regular schedule. It will take a couple months but we are almost there.
In this quick update, Sharmane shares that she has moved to Seattle, Washington, where there already is a decent community of Militantly Mixed cousins (former guests of the show) and hopes that there will be new opportunities to relaunch the show. While it may not be weekly episodes right away, Sharmane is ready to get back to the work once she gets settled.

So I did it, I flew to L.A. to attend and support our cousin, Dr Jenn Noble and her Free To Be Fest, a Mixed Race community event that took place at Rooftop Cinema in DTLA. A lot of my favorite Mixed cousins that are L.A. based were there. It was really good for me, I’m really glad I went. I was only gone for 25 hours, I’m back home with my kittens and they were big mad at me for leaving BUT I am home now and wanted to share with you my experience and looking forward to more of these opportunities in the future.
