Introducing this show.

This is the preview episode to get you to dip your toes in acknowledging the complications of interracial marriages.

In this preview, you hear me speaking about the different experiences and emotions we share as we do something for the first time – be it – your first job or first time telling your parents that the person you want to marry is from different background.

It is interesting and at times important that we share our experiences of being in an interracial family as it can help others and bring people together as they gather the learning(s) from other.

So, sit and invest less than 5 minutes on something that may change your day.
