Our second episode of the Pass the Mic series is with my good friend Taira. Taira is a dog mom, wife, and loves trashy reality tv shows. She is here to talk about life growing up as a minority, what it was like to date and marry into a white family, and how she thinks about raising mixed children in today's climate.
