FIRST: I never intended to go a whole month without posting. I was swamped with work for a minute, then Mercury went retrograde, and my energy flagged…my apologies!
OKAY: Let’s get into the good stuff!
As you might know, comic / author / cultural commentator W. Kamau Bell has a new documentary out, “1000 Percent Me: Growing Up Mixed.”
Bell, best known for his hit TV show, “United Shades of America,” describes his work as talking about race, class, and privilege. He’s interracially married with 3 Mixed daughters.
For this new documentary, airing on HBO, he explores Mixedness via interviews with several kids—ages 7 to 16—including 2 of his daughters, along with some of their parents, and two Mixed adults.
For all the reasons you want to watch it, check out what Sir Auntie Mane of Militantly Mixed and I have to say. Our convo adds context, nuance, and perspective whether you listen before or after viewing.
