Merry Christmas From Mixed Messages!
A note as we say goodbye to 2023
Hi, welcome back to Mixed Messages! Sorry that there was no newsletter this week – for the past fortnight I’ve been floored by the illness that everyone seems to have at. the moment. With Christmas quite literally round the corner, I ran out of time to get an interview out.
I’m currently at home streaming Christmas films and drinking mulled wine, so it’s officially time to sign off from Mixed Messages until 2024. Thank you SO much for your support this year – I know I say it often, but it really means the world that you spend time with me here.
Each time you comment, message or even come up to me in person, I’m reminded of why I run Mixed Messages and the impact it’s having.
If you’re feeling generous this festive season, please do consider upgrading to a paid subscription or donating to my Ko-fi. This helps keep this newsletter free and running weekly, as well as special editions, giveaways and more.
You can also shop the Mixed Messages Bookshop or Amazon storefronts, where I’ll earn a small amount of commission from your purchase at no extra cost to you.
If you aren’t in a position to support me financially, there are other ways to champion Mixed Messages, like continuing to be a subscriber, commenting on and sharing posts, supporting us on social media or just telling a friend about us.
I’m wishing you a very merry Christmas and a happy, healthy, peaceful and prosperous new year. We’ll be back in 2024 with presenter and Clean Curls founder Sarah-Jane Crawford. There are some changes on the horizon, and hopefully some exciting developments, so I can’t wait to get stuck in.
All my love, Izzy x

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 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.
