Why I got involved with the project. Levi Ferguson age 15
After the conference I felt empowered and proud to be Mix-d: Race, mainly because we discussed our own experiences this gave me more confidence to talk to others about my own identity as well as theirs. I was pleased be given such an opportunity I felt welcome and at home, boundaries caused by stereotypes were broken down and we all learnt about the history of Mix-d: Identities. I felt like we talked about topics relative to ourselves, we gained knowledge about issues concerning us as a Mix-d: Race Community, overall I really enjoyed the conference and can’t wait until my next.
