You try to make yourself make sense to other people by describing yourself in fractions (e.g. I'm half Black and half Filipina) … but then you’re disappointed and you feel unseen when someone says that you’re only half or you’re not fully something. In this episode, I'm talking about how to embrace the complexity of your identity and stop worrying about if you make sense to other people.

Welcome to the Mixed Race Belonging podcast, where we explore the intersection of mixed identity and belonging through the lens of somatics and personal and collective liberation to help you heal your belonging wounds and reconnect with your innate wholeness through relationships, new experiences, and activism.

I’m your host, Raina LaGrand, a somatic coach for mixed race people with a background as a trauma therapist, yoga teacher, and health educator.

The tools and insights I share with you here are the approach that has not only helped me heal my belonging wound, but also helped me help my mixed race clients do the same.

We all need something good to belong to right now. Relationships and spaces where we feel safe, held, seen, heard, and dignified. Thanks for being here and let’s get started with today’s show.
