Welcome to Mixed Up, a podcast for mixed people everywhere and for anyone looking into a deeper insight on race and identity. Hosted by sustainability consultant and creative director Emma Slade Edmondson, and Nicole Ocran, writer and co-founder of The Creator Union. The show is about straddling two worlds and multiple identities. Now more than ever, it feels like people of mixed heritage are seeking out their space to talk about their lived experiences. But despite searching, we could find very little to relate to. We decided to make something we would have appreciated hearing. Music by: Hagan

Why we need to re-examine the phrase white passing: Becca Dudley on flying the flag for reggae and having your authenticity questioned

The one where they expect you to play Britney Spears because they think you're a white girl

Emma and Nicole speak to Becca Dudley, a DJ and TV presenter who has been in the music industry for over a decade. Becca has Jamaican, British and German heritage, and set up the platform Deadly to showcase the best of reggae, dancehall and grime, and to shine a light up-and-coming artists.

They discuss being misidentified, having your authenticity questioned, imposter syndrome, coming out online to different communities and the fear of being labelled a 'culture vulture'.
