Throwback Thursday!

We’re still smiling thinking about LAist Super-Fun Saturday, where we welcomed beautiful multicultural children to the MASC Stage to walk with confidence in Mixed Up Clothing, a children’s apparel brand that celebrates culture, identity, and belonging through globally inspired fashion.

Hair and glam were provided by +Chaz Pizzazz!, a kid-safe haircare brand made for coils, curls, waves, and mixed-textured hair, with products that are up to 99% plant-based and made for children.

Thank you to LAist for creating space for families, representation, and community joy. This is what Loving Day Weekend is all about.

We love seeing more children reflected in the stories they grow up with.

In the latest installment of Pixar beloved franchise, audiences are introduced to Blaze Manoukian, a young girl who lives on a farm, loves animals, and becomes an important part of Bonnie's story. Blaze is also Disney first half-Black, half-Armenian character.

For many multiracial kids, seeing a character who looks a little more like them isn't about checking a box, it's about knowing they belong in the story, too.

Representation doesn't take anything away from anyone. It simply widens the circle so more children can see themselves, their families, and their experiences on screen.

We're excited to see Toy Story 5 continue that journey.

Every child deserves to know they belong. https://www.comicsands.com/maga-toy-story-mixed-race

Another day, another MAGA meltdown 🙄

Is seeing a mixed face on screen the same as telling a mixed race story?

A new Resonate article looks at how TV often uses mixed Asian characters as “just enough” diversity while leaving their families, cultures and identities unexplored.

Representation should give us full, specific and human stories, not just an face in the cast.

What mixed-race character made you feel truly seen?

"Just a Pretty Face: The Shallowness of the Asian/White Trope on TV
From Shrinking to Interior Chinatown, contemporary television frequently reduces mixed-race characters to mere aesthetic window dressing. Addie Tsai explores the shallow tropes, tokenism, and persistent erasure facing mixed Asian/white representation on screen."
