About Our True Colors
Our True Colors is a podcast about identity, belonging, and life in the in-between. We explore what it means to be mixed race, multiracial, multicultural, racially ambiguous — or to grow up across cultures, through adoption, or in any space where identity doesn’t fit neatly into a box. What’s it like to feel like you fit everywhere yet belong nowhere, all at the same time? If you or someone you love has ever been called a racial riddle, an ethnic enigma, or a cultural conundrum, this show is for you. Each season, host Dr. Shawna Gann — a business psychologist and author of Mixed Signals: A Multiracial Window into Civility and Belonging at work — is joined by a new co-host who brings their own lens. Together with guests, they share candid conversations, family stories, and professional insights that remind us we don’t clock in and out of our identities. At its heart, Our True Colors is about connection: creating a space where mixed, multicultural, and cross-cultural voices can be heard, where belonging is explored, and where “otherness” becomes something powerful to claim. Our True Colors is an extension of The Culture Crucible, Dr. Gann’s practice dedicated to building stronger, more inclusive workplace cultures. Learn more and connect at www.culturecrucible.com
