Welcome to “Conversations that Matter” with Dr. Shungu M’gadzah. In this episode, we reflect on Serena Williams’s recent revelations about the pain of being excluded—not by her husband, but by his family—because of the colour of her skin. Her story echoes Meghan Markle’s and mirrors the experiences of many who step into interracial marriages with love, only to encounter families still stuck in caves of comfort or the early stages of the Six Stages Framework. Together, we’ll explore what the SSF teaches us about navigating bias, how couples can prepare for these realities, and how we can protect our worth when others refuse to see it. Because love should never have to fight prejudice to be recognised.
