"Lea and Elizabeth are topnotch facilitators, making often
difficult conversations about diversity accessible,
entertaining, and resonant. I was pleased to see workshop
participants so thoroughly embrace the playfulness of
performance as a means of critically engaging
intersectionality across one another's lives.
Weeks later, students still remember Lea and Elizabeth's
evocative final performance of  The Miscegenations Project
as they quote--and sing!--excerpts from the text.
Lea and Elizabeth know how to meaningfully engage others,
and my students and I are richer for having been
in their presence, for having shared in their process."

"Pace University was extremely fortunate to have Elizabeth
and Lea bring the Miscegenations Project to our staff and
students. Lea and Elizabeth guided participants through a
creative process through which individuals begin to extract
salient realities from themselves and each other to create
shared narratives around intersections of identity.
Together we were able to tackle issues around queer
identity, race, religion, age, level of ability and
to recognize connections and differences of those
involved.  The process is both inspiring and applicable
to sustaining future dialogues. I would love to bring
Lea and Elizabeth back and will continue to incorporate
the many wonderful tools they demonstrated to sustain
continued dialogues on campus!"

"Lea and Elizabeth are absolutely amazing!  They came to
Penn State and shared their Miscegenations Project with
our students.  Their personal stories and stage production
touched the hearts of everyone who attended.  We have even
decided to bring them both back this year to do a three day
workshop with our students so they can create their own
presentations and share in this amazing experience.
I would highly recommend bringing them to your campus.
Their programs expose students to the intersections of
sexual orientation, gender and gender expression,
race and ethnicity, and culture in a way that students
will remember for a lifetime."

"Whitney and Robinson are not only dynamic and
entertaining, but thought-provoking and challenging. 
They tackle serious topics with aestheticism and courage."
--Jason Del Gandio, author of "Rhetoric for Radicals"

"Elizabeth and Lea are dynamic presenters who bring a
necessary conversation to queer communities, offering
critical insights and discussion about queer,
interracial relationships"

"I first saw this supremely talented duo perform an
excerpt from The Miscegenations Project in Milwaukee, WI
several years ago. It immediately struck me as a deeply
important celebration and critique of the often silenced,
sometimes untold, Queer realities of living and loving
in our contemporary state.  Over the years I have had the
privilege of seeing other iterations of this work, and
with each performance Elizabeth and Lea breathe new life
and passion into their narrative. The Miscegenations
Project tells stories of intersecting identities -
stories that are simultaneously funny and heartbreaking,
whip-smart and provocative, richly nuanced and sweet in
their simplicity, leaving audiences ravenous for more.
--Shereen Inayatulla, CUNY Assistant Professor

"I had the privilege of attending a reading and discussion
of your The Miscegenations Project at Broad Vocabulary
Books in Milwaukee, WI in 2007.  This was a truly enjoyable
experience.  Ms. Whitney and Ms. Robinson, you were able
to approach this topic with humor and insight as well as
engage the audience and welcome them warmly into the
discussion. You both are dynamic individuals and together
you complement each other so well.  This is such an
important project and I am glad to see such initiative and
dedication from you both in the arena of social justice.
Thank you!"

"Our students at the University of Wyoming who participated
in this unique and digital narrative event received an
excellent educational opportunity.  Miscegenations gave us
the opportunity to bring the pages of the past and present,
as it concerns race and marriage in the U.S., alive in a
real-world context."

"The perfect workshop for people of disparate backgrounds
to meet, talk and create together. 
Charmingly instructional."
