Topic: This is the 4th episode of my dating panel interview series for 2017 where I’m interviewing singles and couples about their dating experiences in regards to their race, age, religion, sexual orientation, gender, and lifestyle. The intention of these interviews is to start a productive conversation about dating and hear directly from different groups of people to get a better understanding of their unique experiences. The participants in this panel are very candid, honest, and open and shared some very personal, heartfelt and emotional experiences including digital dating, having a 'type', double standards between genders, and stereotypes. Please listen with compassion. Thank you to this episode’s participants, Ben, Brielle, Jimeneka, and Daniel for sharing your personal stories with us and being a part of this series of interviews.

Episode 192: Setting Dating & Relationship Intentions for 2021 w/ Girl Boner Radio host August McLaughlin, CSE

Ep.191-On this episode, my partner Jett Garrison (www.JettGarrison.com) & I talk other interracial couples about they are supporting their Black partners, what allyship looks like, and conversations with their children during this time of great change and racial justice. 

Backstory: I’ve been receiving messages from interracial couples saying that for the first time in their relationship, they’ve been having some hard conversations about race, that their partner is struggling to understand the emotions their partner is dealing with, or that their partner doesn’t fully understand the importance of this current movement. My intention in putting together this panel was to help couples, whether in a new #relationship or a long-term partnership, gain a better understanding about what their Black partners are experiencing, and therefore create more empathy and support.

A big THANK YOU to our panel participants (Jett Garrison, Rikesha Lane, Rachel Rae Lane, Shawn Richardz, Cary Millman, Chad Davis, Carl Hampton Jr, Jeremy Holmes & Erika Holmes) for sharing their experiences and taking the time educate the listener.
