Never at home: The biracial conundrum
Myra Flynn
“How do people who identify as Black but have a white parent identify with that part of them? What are the complicated issues, if any? How do you manage day to day?” These are the questions posed by listener Janice Solek-Tefft that we’ll seek to answer in this episode of Homegoings. Myra Flynn shares her own experiences and speaks with three other biracial individuals as they discuss what it’s like to hold two of the world’s most opposing races in one body.

Homegoings: A righteous space for art and race.

Homegoings is a podcast that invites listeners to be a fly on the wall, privy to candid and genuine conversations about race.
