<p>“Enjoy your body. Celebrate it. And don’t worry what anyone else thinks about it.”</p><br><p>Mel and Iz sit down with <strong>Duane Nasis</strong>, Filipino-British multidisciplinary movement artist based in London; and one fifth of Dragon BoiZ, a queer Asian dance troupe that’s here to ‘ruin the family hotpot’.</p><br><p>Duane explores a diverse range of practices from physical theatre, clowning and cabaret, to contemporary dance, gymnastics, and even lucha libre wrestling.

“Being mixed race is messy, complex and wonderful” Mixed Up on stereotypes, dating, and solidarity
<p>It’s <strong>Eastern Hunnies Monday</strong> and this week, we’re sitting down with the award-winning <strong>Mixed Up</strong> podcast duo, Emma and Nicole, to spill the tea on <strong>dating as a mixed person, fetishisation, stereotypes and bias</strong>. </p><br><p>We unpack microaggressions, explore Black and Asian allyship, and laugh (a LOT) while talking about the messy, beautiful complexities of mixed-race identity.</p><br><p>Self-interrogation is the theme of the day – because the only way to grow, heal, and show up as a compassionate human is to really look at yourself. Expect hot takes, belly laughs, and some real talk about yellowface, appropriation, and dating as a mixed person (yes, we went there!).</p><br><p>Whether you’re navigating dating apps, exploring your own mixed heritage, or just love unapologetic conversations about race and culture, this episode is for you. Emma and Nicole also drop insights from their book <strong>The Half Of It: Exploring the Mixed-Race Experience</strong>, which is now out in paperback edition. 📚✨</p><br><p>So grab your headphones, pour a drink (or three), and get ready to banter, reflect, and celebrate the full spectrum of mixed identity with us.</p><br><p>Check out <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mixedup.podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mixedup.podcast</a> for more stories about race, identity, and belonging.</p><br><p>Find us at <a href="Eastern Hunnies: https://www.instagram.com/easternhunnies" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@easternhunnies</a> - and remember to subscribe, share, and follow along. We appreciate you! 💛 </p><br><p><strong>Credits: </strong></p><p>Edited by Gabby Lauren </p><p>Directed by Yijia Fu </p><p>Music by Muri & Lustbass </p><p>Mixing by Ross Ramsay-Golding </p><p>Produced by Hunniepot</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
