Happy Friday! In this episode, you will hear about one of Rahul’s most “mixed” experiences!
Being multiracial is not easy. It comes with isolation and ostracization from many non-mixed people. In an effort to decrease this loneliness, it is so important that individuals within this community share their stories so that it is made clear that no mixed-race person is alone in their identity.

My name is Rahul Yates, I am 18 years old from Los Angeles, California, and I am the host of the Mixed by Gen Z Podcast. Growing up as a multiracial and multicultural individual, I never understood where I belonged. It was difficult finding the middle ground between my white and Indian backgrounds, and I often tried to be just Indian because I did not know how to embrace both.
Now, I am excited to be expanding my engagement within this community and beyond as I launch this podcast. My goal is to continue providing a voice for Gen Z multiracial and multicultural individuals through my own “takes” on subjects as well as through interviews with pioneering thought leaders. I look forward to seeing where this journey takes me!
