00:00 - What is Mixed?

00:01 - We need to know.

00:02 - Is it What Kills Me?

00:03 - Mixed-ish is about a family that moved

00:06 from the commune to the cul-de-sac.

00:08 - Nothing you ever say about your childhood makes sense.

00:11 You grew up in a cult.

00:14 - It's basically a show about how Bo became Bo.

00:16 You're introduced to her family,

00:17 a deep dive into who she is

00:19 and how she became who she is now.

00:21 - Just because we're in a new home,

00:23 we're not gonna let that change who we are.

00:25 We're definitely not gonna let this idiot box

00:28 contaminate us with the worst of America, CBS.

00:31 - She's optimistic and she wants everyone

00:34 to get along with one another,

00:35 but she's also lost because she hasn't found herself yet.

00:39 - It's all about the toughness that they went through

00:42 when they were mixed in a black and white world

00:45 where nobody knew that this was really even a thing yet.

00:49 - I play a hippie who's been on a commune

00:51 for the last 15 years.

00:52 He's still stuck in the '70s

00:53 while everyone else is sort of evolving into the '80s,

00:56 so it's kind of fun to play that character.

00:57 - Anyone can grill meat,

00:59 but to cook a medium rare mushroom, that's talent.

01:03 - Aunt Denise is a no holds barred truth teller.

01:06 - No, you please tell me

01:07 you didn't send these babies to school looking like this.

01:10 - What's wrong with how we look?

01:11 - You look like a runaway house slave.

01:13 - No.

01:14 - Black culture and the black community

01:16 is where she feels most at home.

01:17 She's not anti anyone else, she's just pro her.

01:20 - They're black and white,

01:21 don't try to make them choose sides.

01:24 - America already chose.

01:25 - Harrison is, well he's a lawyer, that should tell you a lot

01:29 and he's not the good kind.

01:31 Are there any?

01:32 Maybe, we don't know.

01:33 He tends to be on the party side of things.

01:37 - This is why I don't do cocaine.

01:38 I am cocaine.

01:40 I do cocaine.

01:42 - He basically in the show represents, you know, ignorance.

01:46 - Well, I gotta make the rules,

01:47 but yacht clubs are for people

01:48 who came here on the top of a ship.

01:51 - Everybody is trying to figure out who they are,

01:53 where they fit in in this world with identity,

01:55 especially coming from a commune where they were

01:57 for 15 years being thrown back into the real world

02:00 and having to face reality.

02:02 - What it does is allow this family to have so many firsts.

02:05 So it's not like they're like the family

02:07 from another planet, but in a lot of ways,

02:09 we can look at things in a fresh way

02:12 while they experience it for the first time.

02:15 - The biracial family, I don't think it had ever been told

02:18 on network television before,

02:20 and so we saw this as an opportunity.

02:21 - Unlike "Black-ish," we're gonna hit on some tough subjects

02:25 for some people, and for other people,

02:27 I think when they see an episode,

02:29 they're gonna breathe a sigh of relief,

02:31 and they're gonna say,

02:31 "I'm so glad they finally talked about it."

02:33 - Today's mixed kids can look up to rappers,

02:36 ballerinas, athletes, a president, and a princess.

02:40 The only heroes we had were DeBarge.

02:42 - I hope when audiences watch the show,

02:44 they see that, you know, no matter what you look like,

02:47 no matter who you are, your identity is unique,

02:50 and it matters to the world.

02:51 - You'll find a way, and we all will.

02:53 (upbeat music)
