FREE TO BE FEST IS BACK! 💫

Free to Be Fest, the 3rd annual festival created specifically around the mixed race and multiracial experience, is happening October 3 at UCLA!

It’s a full day of conversations, storytelling, comedy, films, art and community for mixed race adults and families. The idea is pretty simple: create a space where we don’t have to explain, defend or choose parts of who we are. Belonging is the whole point.

Come spend the day with people who get it, celebrate all the pieces that make us who we are, and have some fun while we’re at it!

Grab your (in person or virtual) ticket for October 3 by following the links shared by Free to Be Fest

Join their email list. 📧

Donate to the Fest: DONATE / SPONSOR

And please share this with the mixed race folks in your life. There are a lot more of us out here than we realize!

Hope to see you at UCLA on

Shoutout to the creator-

This post really pulls apart some ideas that can feel so basic in theory, but feel so complex in practice. Hope it brings some inspiration to any who need it.

IT HAS TO BE THAT DEEP. Our ability to relate through difference, hold multiple things to be true at once, and lovingly tenderly offer a quality of attention, regard and curiosity towards ourselves and others is how we stay connected. It’s how we prevent fear and scarcity from grabbing the steering wheel and taking over our lives.

Yes, it is tiring, yes it can be frustrating. Yes it requires a significant amount of distress tolerance. And also yes it is the key to staying near to yourself and others, and your aliveness

This super cute moment between a son and his mom highlights how confusing racial constructs really are. The funny (sometimes very painful) part is that not everyone in our families or close circles agrees on who is or isn’t a particular race or belongs to a particular culture. How we are seen or unseen has real implications and should be explored in safer spaces with others who may understand or are willing to witness and support our journey.

🎉We’re excited to relaunch our “Read as White” Dialogue Track for the first time since 2021!

*The Read as White Dialogue Track is an 18+ dedicated space for mixed, mixed-race, multiracial, biracial, multiethnic and transracial/transnational adoptees who connect with the experience of being perceived as white by others.

➡️ This perception could be due to looks (such as light skin), voice (we’ve had folks share about being “heard” as white, for example) and/or other traits. We use the term “read as white” to name how we are perceived, without centering whiteness as aspiration or assuming intent to “pass.”

🗓️👀Check all the dates via the link in our bio. In our May 9th Read As White dialogue, we’re gathering to reconnect, reflect, and process what we’ve lived through—together. We’ll hold space to process our experiences with Metro Surge and the ongoing realities of violence and repression, while grounding in community care and the shared experience of being read as white.

Eleonore Wesserle (she/her), one of the previous Read As White co-facilitators, is returning to facilitate the May 9, June 6, and July 11 Read as White dialogues.

If you connect with the experience of moving through the world being perceived by others as white, please join us! Spots are filling up!

“I’ve worked with a lot of white-assumed mixed people over the years in the Mixed Adults Immersive and so I’ve learned a lot about this particular mixed experience. Obviously it’s not the same for everyone but I think it’s something that barely gets addressed in community and that’s why I talk about here in this space.

I hope this is helpful for white-assumed mixed people to feel seen, heard and held. And also for parents, family and loved ones to know a little bit more about this. There are A LOT of mixed parents of white-assumed kids in this space and this is for you too. ♥️

Let me know if this hits home for you, I’d love to hear from you.”

It’s important to belong to something much bigger than the human world or the human myths.⁠

Shoutout & big props to Dr. Hayley of Elevating Access ( )for this insightful share.

➡️CHECK OUT her upcoming event —Elevate Your Impact: A Summit for Multiracial Changemakers—and register if it feels like the space you are needing! Registration closes April 20th!‼️ and register if it feels like the space you are needing!

We love hearing about all of the ways we are challenging ourselves and each other to consider new perspectives and get away from monolithic thinking and single stories around what it means to be part of the mixed/TRA/TNA community.

“Healing is as much about restoring, reimagining and reclaiming as it is about refusing.

Here are a few things I’m refusing:
-Divide & conquer strategies
-Internalizing deficit narratives that minimize the impacts of systems of harm
-The erasure of intersectional lived experiences
-Belonging barriers rooted in racial impostor syndrome, identity policing & external validation

If this feels aligned, tell me more! What is one thing you’re refusing on *your* healing journey?”
