3 things you didn’t know about the ‘term’ • Mix-d: is pronounced mixed - at all times. • When we remove artificial additives (commonly know as E’s or E numbers) from food we are left with a fresh, healthy, artificial free product. Similarly, by removing the letter ‘e’ from ‘Mix-d:’ we are left with a fresh, healthy and artificial free ‘Mix-d:’ (in this case referring to past historical prejudices) to make way for a fresh new dialogue. • The colon at the end of ‘Mix-d:’ is used exactly the same way it would be used in any punctuation. It means: ‘from the general to the specific.’ We think of ‘Mix-d:’ as a tree trunk with a number of branches. The colon represents where the branches reach out from the trunk.
“Mix-d: is our stem and the branches are our work”. Bradley Lincoln, founder of Mix-d: a social enterprise and non-profit organisation.
