No Small Talk- Conversation Starters for Introverts

11. No Small Talk Conversation with Omolola Anderson | Conversation Starters for Any Situation


Listen Later

Young couples today are stepping outside of their comfort zone and finding love and compatibility with someone who shares the same values and interests, regardless of race or culture. In today's episode, we are joined by our friend Omolola ("Lola") Anderson as we discuss the impact of marrying someone outside of their culture. We discuss:

  • The three main areas that present additional challenges in intercultural relationships: communication, extended family relations, and raising children
  • Sherry's fear of having to teach someone her culture
  • Ebony's experience with marrying a fellow Nigerian from a different tribe and adjusting to different cultural practices and expectations
  • Lola's unwillingness to conform to societal and familial pressures to marry someone of the same culture
  • Plus, tune in to hear Lola's go-to conversation starter.
