Episode 16: Commitment Beyond Race
Some say love is blind. But the reality is true and authentic love actually has eyes wide open. If you’re in an interracial relationship or considering one, take a listen.
Join Hostion and Andrea as they explore the dynamics of healthy interracial relationships and the things to avoid. Listen as Hostion and Andrea both advocate for learning and unlearning race - what that means for us as individuals and how it shapes us to love each other better. Friendships and relationships alike, having a curious heart and a listening ear will help everyone navigate building lasting relationships and a more meaningful journey with the people we love and the people we have yet to love.
