EP 6: Embracing Multiracial and Multicultural Heritage is Not Always Easy Artwork

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

EP 6: Embracing Multiracial and Multicultural Heritage is Not Always Easy

March 25, 2023 • Melissa Gonzales • Season 1 • Episode 6

Welcome back to All Parts Welcome, a podcast that celebrates the beauty of multicultural and multiracial identities. In this episode, host Melissa Gonzales sits down with Taylor Presha, the owner of A Change Within, LLC, and the host of the Podcast, Talks with Taylor.

Together, they discuss Taylor’s experience of embracing a multi-racial heritage that was not accessible growing up. Taylor shares her personal experiences of feeling disconnected from her Dominican heritage on her father's side and how she learned to define herself from within, without having to explain her identity to anyone else.

Melissa and Taylor also discuss the importance of breaking generational trauma and how it affects individuals' sense of self. They explore the different ways to confront this trauma and the importance of acknowledging the impact of systemic issues that continue to affect marginalized communities.

Join us as we delve into the complexities and magic of embracing a multi-racial heritage, breaking generational trauma, and defining ourselves from within. Tune in to All Parts Welcome, and celebrate the beauty of our diverse identities.
