After a brief chat about the Oscars and Jeanette getting a chance to see Christopher at work, it's time to dig into our thoughts on Black Panther, the value of representation, and the risk of cultural appropriation. We don't spoil the movie, but the conversation is more fun if you've seen it. Then, Jeanette introduces Christopher to the docu-series, "The Loving Generation" and a the diverse perspectives on race and identity that come from the generation of biracial children born between 1965 and 1985.

By the time Christopher and Jeanette sat down to record the latest episode, neither had seen Black Panther yet. So we open our conversation with our expectations for the movie before discussing representation at the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang and share our thoughts on the official Obama portraits that were unveiled at the National Portrait Gallery.

This time Christopher's travel got in the way of a traditional recording, but delayed flights won't stop him and Jeanette from discussing Colin Kaepernick's donation and nonprofit awareness spree, A Wrinkle in Time's Black, White, and Brown barbies, the beauty of the Black Panther's Purple Carpet premiere.

Jeanette has returned from her international adventures to talk about her sixth trip to South Africa, the difference in international interactions from now compared to 2008, how our President's remarks are viewed around the world. We also discuss the recent unfortunate news from H&M's latest clothing ad campaign.

With Jeanette touring South Africa, Christopher turns to his spouse and better half, Dayle Kern, for a chat about growing up in Alabama, understanding white privilege around the world, and living in rural Japan. Then it's time to think about how Mark All That Apply can expand to include perspectives of people in interracial relationships.

Merry Christmas! Christopher and Jeanette recorded this one early, but are here to deliver some holiday discussion about the election of Doug Jones, the latest pop culture appearance for diabetes in a recent episode of Black-ish, and dig into the concept of colorism.

The reaction to Meghan Markle's engagement is in, and it's not pretty. Christopher and Jeanette spend most of the podcast discussing the reaction from a variety of racial perspectives. There's also some chat about the value of identifying as biracial, and a recent piece from the New York Times about a family that adopted and soon after returned a baby they didn't know was black before they met her.

Thanksgiving 2017 included a family viewing of Girls Trip, naturally we had to discuss that one. We also discuss Jeanette's recent trip to South Carolina, Meghan Markle's engagement to Prince Harry, and we round out the last of our 50 Experiences of Racially Mixed People. What are we going to do for our next episode?

Jeanette files her report from a very black Association for the Study of Higher Education conference. Christopher mistakenly campaigns for Beyoncé on Broadway. And more importantly, we discuss the promising prospect of improved diversity and representation coming out out of the 2017 elections in Virginia - and across the country.

Christopher got a little distracted talking about the racial dynamics at play with his new house, and recent trip to Richmond, VA for a diabetes event, but we got back on track reminiscing about the Million Man March and the importance of religious leadership in black communities. Then, Jeanette educates everyone on Kristen Renn's Multiracial Identity Development Model before we dig into the next 5 items on our list of experiences of racially mixed people.
