Being Biracial is a podcast by Maria Birch-Morunga and Kate Robinson about navigating the world as a mixed-race person.
Fascinated by race, identity and family gossip, Being Biracial is filled with stories about unclaimable heritages, linguistic insecurity, and being a chameleon. It’s a celebration of shared stories, even when we come from different mixes.
Join us for the podcasts season one celebration event where Kate and Maria will be joined by some of the podcast interviewees to share some stories of Being Biracial.
