Haters Gonna Hate with Ashley & Steven Evans
In this episode, we interview Ashley & Steven Evans. These TikTok influencers have captured the hearts and attention of over 840k followers. We discuss adoption, the dynamics of having a multi-cultured family, and how to handle the haters.
Given the realities of race and racism in the United States, as evidenced by the protests of last summer, a white couple adopting a black boy is something that some people may find unusual.
This is the situation that our amazing guests found themselves in when they started posting pictures of their family on TikTok. Some questioned their motives, while others made sure to tell them that he was not their child.
Other people went as far as questioning whether the white couple will prepare the young black man adequately to deal with the subtle or overt racism that might come his way.
Ashley and Steven Evans haven’t let this negativity affect them. In fact, for every negative comment, there are hundreds of positive ones cheering them on.
Join us in this conversation as we talk about the realities of raising a kid of a different race and how to deal with the haters on social media.
