All Parts Welcome
All Parts Welcome is a podcast to help us explore what it means to be multiracial and multicultural. Often, as people of mixed race and culture we don’t feel fully connected to one specific group and this can lead to a feeling of not fully belonging.This podcast is a safe space, a space where all are welcome to show up as they are, a space for all to feel seen and honored. In this space we will explore and talk about our experiences, how we have grown, developed our identity and learned skills to overcome obstacles that only people of mixed race and culture have experienced. You will hear from community members and experts who will share their personal experiences and knowledge in hopes that something will resonate and support you in finding what it is you need, healing, hope, peace or just a sense of knowing that you are not alone. We will explore ancestral and generational trauma and how this impacts us.In this podcast we will not only talk about the obstacles of being mixed race but will also talk about the gifts and magic within us.Podcast Produced and Hosted by Melissa Gonzales Edited by Abbey Dot
