Konnichiwassup, cousins! After a longer-than-expected hiatus, Militantly Mixed is officially back on the mic.
In this return episode, I (Sharmane) share a bit about why the relaunch has been delayed — namely, because mental health has required me to slow down and focus on one thing at a time. And right now, that one thing is Free to Be Fest 2025 — a celebration of Mixedness, community, and joy!
Joining me today is Dr. Jenn Noble, licensed psychologist and the creator of Free to Be Fest. As both a co-planning committee member and the Official Podcast Sponsor, I’m honored to share space with Dr. Jenn to talk all things fest: how it started, what’s coming this year, and why events like this are transformative for the Mixed-race community.
