Summary

At the beginning of our Black History Month celebration, Dustin made a comment about how growing up half black/half white is a unique experience and one that requires its own conversation. We figured what better way to wrap up this series than to have that conversation. Today on the pod, Dustin is joined by Meagan Smith and Jazmine Jarvis, the co-founders of Mixed in America – an organization looking to have a more nuanced conversation about race and identity in America specifically through the multiracial lens.

this farm and he worked with distilled whiskey and he was very good at this craft, like very,
