Miscellaneous


In this episode, we examine what relationships look like on-screen and in real life; it's not just all Black and white, people! We discuss the complexities of racial preferences, especially in a society that most often values and upholds whiteness. Do we limit ourselves when we have certain preferences for romantic relationships? In addition, we share the intricate balances of celebrating interracial relationships while promoting relationships/love within our own race/ethnicity. We acknowledge there are very real lived-experiences that discourage women from dating within their own racial/ethnic group (e.g., violence, trauma, patriarchy, misogyny, etc.). How do we navigate these complexities when trying to find authentic love and relationships? Tune in and share your thoughts with us!
