  • Summary

  • Join siblings Corey and Melissa Patin as they explore their rich multigenerational Creole heritage, rooted in South Louisiana and dating back to the early 1700s. Their ancestry, a unique tapestry of approximately three-quarters European and one-quarter African, is further enriched by Native American and Middle Eastern admixtures. In this podcast, Corey shares his personal experiences with discrimination from both Black and White communities, highlighting the distinct challenges faced by multiracial individuals. As an outspoken advocate for the inclusion of a ‘Mixed Race’ option on medical and government forms, Corey argues that it’s time for society to recognize and accommodate the diverse identities of its citizens. Together, Corey and Melissa proudly embrace their multifaceted racial identity and strive for greater recognition and understanding of the multiracial experience in 2024 and beyond.
