Win with Mixed Messages’ second anniversary giveaway
We’re back with another huge giveaway to celebrate two years of Mixed Messages
Can you believe it’s been two whole years since Mixed Messages first started dropping in your inbox?
That’s over 100 guests sharing their musings on mixedness, discussing everything from music, language and food (that one comes up a lot) to identity politics, the intricacies of racism and difficult family dynamics.
Over the past year, we’ve spoken to the likes of musician, actor and author Jordan Stephens (yes, of Rizzle Kicks fame) and illustrator Beth Suzanna, presenter Miquita Oliver, author Kit de Waal, Love Island star and podcaster Sharon Gaffka, DJ and broadcaster Richie Brave, The Apprentice winner and business owner Sian Gabbidon and many, many more.
To celebrate two years of these incredible conversations, we’re launching our HUGE second anniversary giveaway, featuring prizes from past and future guests.
To be in with a chance of winning, all you need to do is:
Subscribe to Mixed Messages on Substack (although I’m assuming you already are…)

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.
Congratulations on the milestone, Isabella. I've only been a member for about a month, but I'm really enjoying the discussions you have. Here's to many more anniversaries!
