This event is specifically for people with Black or mixed race lived experience.
What are the challenges of living between different cultures or identifying with one and not the other?
What are the challenges of being in a mixed race relationship and starting a family?
How you do manage the stark reality of racism within your own family?
Over 1.2 million British people identify as mixed race. 6% of children under the age of 5 are mixed race, a higher number than any other Black and ethnic minority group in the country. So, why is it so hard for mixed race people to navigate their identity?
In The Mixed Race Experience, Naomi and Natalie Evans, founders of Everyday Racism, share their experiences of growing up mixed race in Britain, how they process, understand and learn about their identity and use their privilege to advocate for change, as well as addressing the privileges and complexities of being mixed race in Britain today.
Thought-provoking, sensitive and challenging, The Mixed Race Experience is a deeply moving look at identity and belonging.
Naomi and Natalie are sisters who live in Margate, Kent. Naomi and Natalie are both of Black Jamaican and White British heritage. In May 2020 a video of Natalie went viral on twitter when she confronted two men racially abusing a ticket conductor. They decided to set up an anti-racism platform on Instagram @everydayracism_ which has over 190k followers. The page shares stories from BIPOC and educational posts focusing on how to be anti-racist. They have been published in various publications including Red magazine and featured in the I newspaper.
