For this episode of the Picture Theory podcast we had the pleasure of chatting with Damien Bellivaeu. Damien is, among many things, a video editor, writer, and found of the photography-based PartBlack Project where he documents people who identify as ethnically-mixed.   I met Damien through a mutual friend when I was asked to participate as a guest feature on the PartBlack Project. We met a nearby taco spot in east hollywood / los feliz area and chatted about our personal histories and passions. Towards the end of our chat I Damien told me was writing a memoir, and applying to a fellowship, which he would later win and is now a PEN fellow! I recently went to see him read and realized how amazing the PEN community is.  Here’s a little blurb about Damien’s upcoming book tentatively titled “Hella” from his website at DamienBelliveau.com:   HELLA is the coming-of-story of Damien, an ethnically mixed boy who has grown up not knowing the African American half of his family.   Set in the San Francisco Bay Area at the precise moment in history when gangsta rap is taking over the country, teenage Damien embraces a thugged-out lifestyle in order to survive when his family's finances collapse, forcing him to leave his all-white private school in Pacifica and enroll at the rough &amp; rugged, ethnically diverse public high school in Daly City.
