Chandra Crane: Cheerfully Defying Stereotypes

“If someone is asking me to be more like the dominant culture and saying, ‘Your identity is in Christ,’ and what they really want is for me to be less loud or wear smaller earrings or to be more quiet and feminine, they’re not actually asking me to look more like Jesus, they’re asking me to look more like them." — Chandra Crane

Listen in on our conversation with author and campus minister Chandra Crane where we discuss ethnicity and culture, identity formation, and Chandra’s upcoming book.

Chandra Crane’s upcoming book Mixed Blessing: Embracing the Fullness of Your Multiethnic Identity is a gift to our world today. Throughout the pages, Chandra’s voice brings the light, love, and healing of Jesus as she shares stories of understanding her multiethnic, multi-cultural identity. In this conversation, she shares more of those stories about how she has grown in confidence as a multiethnic woman made in the image of God. Through her sense of humor, intelligence, and strong, faith-filled voice, Chandra invites us into our own journey to be able to see who we are in Christ as well. We hope you’ll enjoy this conversation as much as we did.​
