'We are NOT, as Mixed People, being Confusing. YOU are just CONFUSED!'
Get the tea, the tee and more from the Mixed Aunties!
Y’all ain’t ready!
But the Mixed Aunties are here to help you “stay ready so you don’t have to get ready.”
The conversation is changing and FOR ONCE, Mixed folks are in charge!
We are pushing back against the folks who don’t inhabit our skins, who don’t know our stories, and who don’t respect our truths trying to police, control, and gatekeep our identities.
We are taking control of the narrative.
We are challenging the binary that is built on and fueled by white supremacist domination and global anti-Blackness.
We are busting out of the institutional and societal boxes designed to contort our messy truths into stereotypes that diss us to make others comfortable.
We are exploring terminology that serves OUR purposes, fits OUR needs, and reflects OUR multifaceted realities.
And we’re inviting you to come along for the journey!
Last month on the Militantly Mixed podcast, Sir Auntie Mane and I experimented with the potential of new, more accurate and empowering language that we can use to describe ourselves.
THAT convo sparked lots of responses, which we gathered to discuss in a fabulous follow-up episode, which inspired a GEM OF GENIUS from Sir Auntie Mane—catch the magic moment LIVE below!
So of course, Sir Auntie Mane’s brilliant proclamation led to IMMEDIATE requests for merch because THIS IS THE MESSAGE THE WORLD NEEDS TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND and yes I am shouting that part!
We’ve got a tee (it comes in black and white—naturally!)
But wait! There’s more! Here’s our brand-new mug, perfect for the office!
This is just the start of a much bigger movement—and you can say that you were here from the beginning!
We WANT you with us, so please accept our warm and loving invitation to join the movement to change the language, the narrative, and the messaging around Mixed people and our identities!
