Designers, guests, stylists, and more are traveling from Peru, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and other parts of the world to participate in Melange's debut event in NYC celebrating Black History Month. Melange 2018: Black & White is the discovery of the inner self through the eyes of a biracial young professional in the modern day world. How simple everyday actions of self-love like doing your hair or finding a lover can be a daunting racial decision or experiment - for some. This theatrical experience gives breath to the underlying emotions of confusion, frustration, and self-hatred and more importantly -- self-love -- balancing act that bi-racial beings experience as they go through the journey of life. When the things that were born on us force us to choose a side of our racial representation it begs the question: was it even our choice to begin with?
