We have been married for 33 years, and we are still in love and consider each other to be our best friends. We have had our ups and downs, but we have always managed to get through it all.

We discussed everything from racism to religion. There are not too many subjects that are off the table for us, because we want to ensure we share our truths - even when it may be the hardest conversation to endure. Let’s get into it!

In this episode, we tackle questions & comments from other interracial couples.

They often offer comments, micro-aggressions, and questions that show their disapproval.
