And We’re Back!!

Hello again, all you lovely people! I admit that it’s been a while, but the blog is back. That’s right, B-A-C-K, back! So make sure to check it out periodically for spotlights, Mixed Root Festival news, and more! Ooh, this is so exciting, I can’t wait!

Please Donate!!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you all know about how you can contribute to the Mixed Roots Film and Literary Festival! Now, wait a minute before you skip this whole section of text. I understand that sometimes we just don’t have time or money to help out. In response to this, I would like to tell you a bit about my afternoon.
What does my afternoon have to do with donating to Mixed Roots? Sit tight, and I’ll tell you. I am currently taking part in a foreign exchange student program in Germany. So I’m an ocean and a continent away, but I’d still like to do what I can to help out with this amazing program. What did I do? I went to the home page, clicked on the Donate tab, and sent a bit of help to the Mixed Roots organization.
This only took me about three to five minutes, and it was easy for a not-so-web-savvy girl like me to navigate. Now, in case you happen to also be a student, you probably are, like me, on a bit of a budget. If you are not able to donate a large sum to Mixed Roots, don’t worry. The amount you can donate starts at just five US dollars, and every donation counts! So if you’d like to see the Mixed Roots Film and Literary Festival flourish, click on that Donate tab today!

Greetings from Mixed Roots Intern Blogger

Hey everyone,
Amelia Nixon, intern blogger here! I just wanted to take the opportunity to introduce myself before we get down to any hard-core blogging. Now on to a few random facts to make me seem less like a bunch of black, pixelated words and more like a person. Hmmm… Well, for starters, I am a United States citizen currently living in Germany. I am a vegetarian. I like to take long walks on the beach. (Just kidding on that last one!) ;) I believe that everyone has an ocean of stories to tell and that we have this great opportunity to learn from each other if we are just willing to dip our toes in the water. Well, enough about me! I hope you enjoy reading the blog!

Where are they now?
