The Mixed Blessing of Chandra Crane’s Multiethnic Identity
Season 1, Episode 2 (39 minutes)
Episode Description
Fusion may be hip in 2020, but it wasn’t the case when Chandra Crane was growing up, where she felt the pain of not quite fitting in anywhere as a person with a mixed-ethnicity heritage. The daughter of a white mother and Thai birth father who was then adopted and raised by an African-American dad, Chandra experienced the pain of marginalization but then followed the call of God to write about her challenges so that others would benefit. In this honest, refreshing conversation, Chandra opens the door to understanding the mixed blessing of being a multiethnic person, and why a unique voice like hers needs to be reflected in the church today.
