Welcome back CA listeners, this is Part 2 from my conversation with Justin Thompson, and trust me this isn't a conversation that you want to miss. We talk about the tough conversations that we are going to have with our kids and Justin opens up about his time as a police officer and what it was like to be a black police officer and how that has shaped his view of police officers today, and what he thinks the next step is for the relationship between the black community and the police.

Today on the Clever Angle we are continuing the mini series on raising black voices during the national Black Lives Matter movement. I sit down with lifelong friend, Chiara Randall as we discuss what it has been like growing up as a biracial woman in the South.The purpose of this mini series is to share black experiences particularly based in Arkansas, USA in order to continue educating listeners on the continued effects of slavery and racism on black Americans even today. Our guest, Chiara Randall, shares compelling and moving stories of what its like to be in the shoes of a "mixed woman in 2020, and the obstacles that she has faced. We encourage you as a listener to keep an open mind and listen to voices that are often silenced. Voicing the silence is about empowering voices and demanding change- asking our friends and family to consider how systemic racism impacts individuals (your friends of color, family members of color, church members of color, coworkers of color, neighbors of color) in their daily lives.  

Topics include:

• 13th documentary 
• World view as a biracial person 
• Struggles of being biracial 
• Fitting in as a biracial person 
• Raising biracial children
• Prejudices in the community (and family)
• Friends and family 
• Relationship with the police  
• and so much more. 

Our hope is to spur empathy and to know that love is greater than hate.

WARNING: the N word is used once in this episode while the retelling of a racial slur so be advised. 

This mini series is currently a break in our normal episodes sharing about career pursuits as we recognize the urgency and power of raising voices for justice during this time. Thank you for listening and understanding. The end date of the mini series is to be determined. We will continue speaking as the need arises. If you think you have a clever angle or perspective on this movement and these urgent matters- reach out about how your story can be featured on the show.

For more resources on interracial relationships- we encourage to check out my wife's blog. She has articles speaking about more of these topics that can hopefully encourage you and continue to educate. Check it out at The Social Working Mama.

Today on the Clever Angle we are continuing the mini series on raising black voices during the national Black Lives Matter movement. I sit down with lifelong friend, Jalynn Mitchell, as we discuss interracial relationships and what that has been like for black men in the South. The purpose of this mini series is to share black experiences particularly based in Arkansas, USA in order to continue educating listeners on the continued effects of slavery and racism on black Americans even today. Our guest, Jalynn Mitchell, and our host, Tevin McGee, are both black men married to white women which opens a whole new world of conversation, experience, and ultimately biases that still affect people of color and urge change. We encourage you as a listener to keep an open mind and listen to voices that are often silenced. Voicing the silence is about empowering voices and demanding change- asking our friends and family to consider how systemic racism impacts individuals (your friends of color, family members of color, church members of color, coworkers of color, neighbors of color) in their daily lives.  

Topics include: 

• Interracial relationships- overcoming struggles 
• Raising biracial children
• Prejudices in the community (and family)
• Friends and family 
• Dating/Marrying "outside of your race" 
• and so much more. 

Our hope is to spur empathy and to know that love is greater than hate.
