 A special announcement about meetups: 

At The Mixed Space,
You Are                   Home.

Always

To our wonderful community:

2022 marked another incredible year for monthly meetups at The Mixed Space. Our meetups have proven to be one of the most healing experiences for our community. We explored themes, learned from experts, and listened to your journeys navigating mixed identities. We thank all of you for building this beautiful space of acceptance, groundedness, and comradery.

As The Mixed Space evolves, we have decided to pause our monthly meetups. Our team is excited to create fresh experiences for our growing community in 2023. During this time away, we aim to improve and provide a bountiful home for the mixed diasporas. We will continue to connect, learn, and be seen through blogs, social posts, and video content.

We warmly welcome your feedback as we write the new chapter of The Mixed Space. Connect with us in the comments section, stay tuned, and remember that you are always whole, never half.

Until we meet(up) again,
SHOWING UP…
We are a space for critical thinking, storytelling, and challenging societal norms that make us feel othered.

We are a place of belonging and growth.

What are TMS Meetups?
The Mixed Space’s monthly meetups are a portal into the future, facilitating a transformative experience for mixed, multicultural, multiethnic, multi-lingual and multi-continental individuals needing more community. Every month, our heart-centered space offers a place to unpack and/or share the stories that bring to life what makes us different.

At the meetup, storytelling helps our community feel truly uplifted, supported, and validated. It is a brave space where we make the world a more inclusive and better place.

If you identify as intersectional, mixed identity, an ally, advocate, or a multidimensional human being, the space is for YOU. We encourage all our attendees to bring stories, experiences, and expertise to each meetup.

HOME
People, Places
& Feelings
Home. Who is there? What does it feel like?
Where does it reside? Is it always a place…?
This month, we are creating a space to discuss home and all the ways in which people make, find, and return to home. Especially when coming from mixed backgrounds, “home” can span across various cities, states, countries, and cultures. In these and similar instances, it’s not so easy to define home.  
We encourage you to join us in channeling a cozy, grounded feeling together as we discuss what the concept of home means for you.

Where, how, or with whom
do you feel most at home?

What rituals do you practice to make
any place feel like home?

How are people impacted when you leave
and make another place home?

    Meetup Whiteboard
    Watch in real time how our community whiteboard is built on Zoom.

    We invite all attendees to contribute to the board.

    The whiteboard is used as a space for TMS members to share their takeaways from the meetup, name the commitments we pledge to make, and a space where people can have fun and draw whatever resonated with them at the event.

    As an inclusive space, we are mindful to narrate the community efforts on the whiteboard, especially for those who are visually impaired.

    ​​Our suggested ticket price is $10 per person. For all of you who pay more, thank you so much. You are creating an opportunity for us to stay sustainable and accessible. We really appreciate your support. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
