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!
