A podcast where two Black-white, biracial women, mothers, wives, and Film & TV producers have an ongoing conversation around their life experiences that were jump-started by the previously aired sitcom, “Mixed-ish.” Like the main character, Bow, Shannon and Tarana were raised in the 80’s and discuss experiencing some of the show storylines themselves while they also process the current state of the world and its events.

EP 21 Mixed Life ATL "Take Me to Church"

EP 21 Mixed Life ATL "Take Me to Church"

"Mixedish" Episode 204 had me "Living on a Prayer." Rainbow decides to explore the Christian faith and the writers take liberties to explore the skeptic's perspective and those of good faith in the church. It warms our hearts to see Bow love the experience of the church and the Bible so much. In the end, Bow decides she will explore all faiths, being the inclusive, biracial-type A she is.
Meanwhile, Alicia finds that she didn’t realize how much she had been missing her childhood church and decides it’s time for her to start attending again. Paul is concerned but still supportive. Harrison is the 'doubting Catholic' who shows he’s more about the culture of Catholicism than he is about the faith and Denise uses the opportunity to show off her fashion sense.
If you are seeking some advice on how to navigate race relations and the Christian faith, I would encourage you to explore the Be The Bridge and The Witness - Pass the Mic podcast's and ministries', where leaders, Latasha Morrison and Jemar Tisby, among others, lay down some facts for you all to ponder on and maybe even help restore your faith.

EP 19 Mixed Life ATL "Anti-Racism" Part 3 w/ Shannon & Tarana

EP 19 Mixed Life ATL "Anti-Racism" Part 3 w/ Shannon & Tarana

Tarana reacts in an emotional way to Shannon's two-part conversation with her friend and ally, Claire, about anti-racism. During the discussion Shannon mentions the 1966 documentary film called, "A Time for Burning" - where a white Lutheran Pastor in Omaha tries to encourage racial bridge building between a Black Lutheran church and a white Lutheran church. Unfortunately, the work doesn't go so well. We highly recommend you take time to watch.

Ally is defined as someone who makes the commitment and effort to recognize their privilege (based on gender, class, race, sexual identity, etc.) and work in solidarity with oppressed groups in the struggle for justice. Allies understand that it is in their own interest to end all forms of oppression, even those from which they may benefit in concrete ways.
