Navigating the professional world as a mixed person has always had its challenges, but with growing racial tensions it can feel even more isolating. That’s why Dr. Hayley Haywood, of Elevating Access, has created the Elevate Your Impact Summit - an “un-conference” just for multiracial changemakers. On today’s show, Dr. Haywood talks to us about why she created the summit and what you can expect.

Registration closes THURSDAY APRIL 30th, and tickets are pay-what-you-can. Claim your ticket here.

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.

If you constantly feel like you can’t find ANY friendships where you actually feel seen you might have internalized this to mean that you’re too different to fit in or make sense to other people, but there might be something else going on… In today’s episode, I’m talking about what that is, and what you can do to actually build more fulfilling relationships.

If you want to do this work in community with other mixed folks, sign up for Mixed Race Belonging Collective where you can learn somatic skills to help you feel more connected to yourself and others.
