This week on Eat Your Heart Out, we're diving into the complexities, joys, and tensions of interracial dating. Joined by our wonderful friends Ishani Nath and Gabs Santos, we unpack what it really means to date across race in 2026. Drawing from our own lived experiences, we talk honestly about how race shows up in dating — sometimes subtly, sometimes loudly —and how it shapes desire, communication, and compatibility. We also get into the emotional labour often placed on partners of colour, navigating micro-aggressions from strangers (and loved ones), and the difference between “being open” and doing the work to be a genuinely safe partner. Whether you’ve dated interracially, are currently in an interracial relationship, or are simply curious about how race and romance intersect, this episode is for you. And because there was still so much to dig into, you can count on a Part II with Ishani and Gabs soon. [Note: Meg had to head out a little early, so is MIA from the final third of the conversation!]
