About the Podcast

Mixed With What?
If your answer to an inquiry about your ethnic background comes with a follow up question, this podcast is for you. Mixed With What is a podcast that goes beyond the binary of Black and White, to have conversations in color with guests who require more than a single check box to report their racial identity.

Each week host Steph Stock, holds a mirror up to the future faces of America and reflects on what it means to be mixed in a country that’s mixed up about its race relations. From interracial couples, to multiracial individuals, with influential voices, and inspiring stories, Mixed with What ultimately asks the question, what future will America face when the future face of America represents a history that is neither separate nor equal?

Whether you identify as mixed or simply want to contribute to a more welcoming space for mixed people, join in this conversation about race, identity, and belonging as we dive deep into the question: Mixed With What?
