Mixed Messages Extra: Introducing Mixed Media
Looking for books, films, podcasts, artwork and more about being mixed? Look no further
Hi, welcome to Mixed Messages Extra! This week, we’re introducing you to our Mixed Media pages, your ultimate resource for TV series, plays, platforms and more all exploring the mixed identity.
These carefully curated lists come from years of research and talking to over 200 mixed guests, as well as countless subscribers, followers and creators. They’ve truly been a labour of love and I’m really excited to bring them to you.
There are lists of artwork and artists, articles, books, films, platforms and communities, podcasts, theatre shows, TV shows and videos, as well as exclusive discounts for Mixed Messages Extra subscribers.
I’ll continue to update these lists with the expanding canon of content around mixedness, so check back regularly to see what’s new.
I hope you enjoy diving into the developing conversation around mixed-race identity in all its forms, and if you have any recommendations to add to this ever-growing list, please leave them in the comments below!
Next week, I’ll be speaking to musician Leigh-Anne Pinnock. Subscribe to get Mixed Messages in your inbox on Monday. Plus don’t forget to get your Mixed Messages tote bags and bookmarks on Etsy now!

Mixed Messages is a weekly exploration of the mixed-race experience, from me, Isabella Silvers. My mom is Punjabi (by way of East Africa) and my dad is white British, but finding my place between these two cultures hasn’t always been easy. That’s why I started Mixed Messages, where each week I’ll speak to a prominent mixed voice to delve into what it really feels like to be mixed.
