Mixed in America Details
Mixed in America (MIA) empowers the mixed community and heals the mixed identity. MIA is run by two multiracial activists, Jazmine Jarvis and Meagan Kimberly Smith, looking to have a more nuanced conversation about race in America. These women understand firsthand the complexities of being mixed race and make it their mission to give voice to the multiracial experience.Historically, the Mixed race existence has been erased within society. Multiracial people are often pressured to categorize themselves as only one of their races. This denies Mixed people their full expression, limiting them to identifying as only a fraction of themselves. Mixed individuals often face similar racial traumas as their monoracial counterparts but lack the community and support to process it. The ways in which mental health affects the mixed community has yet to be properly researched and understood. We assume the mixed experience rather than asking mixed people themselves what it's like to exist in a multiracial body. This journey is unique and filled with nuance. Embracing duality is not easy. The resulting wounds are oftentimes invalidated, misunderstood, and ignored, leaving us with very few resources to assist in authentic healing. Mixed in America aims to provide these resources and facilitate spaces to remedy these complex challenges.
