Ep. 193: Jen Curry is a Puerto Rican, Jewish person, who grew up in Queens, NY.  But, her mixed and Multiracial experience does not end with her own lineage, for she is now married to a White man and has a Multiracial child (a daughter) of her own.

Motivated by her own life experiences, Jen created MiXD Life -- a community for people in multi-racial, -ethnic, and -national families. MiXD Life is a place for the 9 million biracial Americans, the 3 million transracial adoption families, the 17 million families with at least one foreign born parent, the unknown millions of multi-ethnic families (how do we not have data on this?), and everyone else who wants to celebrate the beautiful diversity among their loved ones.

Listen as Jen tells her story and the story of the creation of MiXD Life.
