Brown Enough

Blessings

Christopher is a great storyteller! Listening to his podcast allows me to understand more about the Brown” Experience and look at my husband with kinder eyes! Love your work and your artistry!

Chris you are wild in the “Please Don’t Hate Me” episode. That being said, within the first 5 minutes of your previous girlfriend speaking - it was clear why you broke up. There are profound cultural, historical, and emotional issues that affect interracial (specifically white & non-white) relationships. It does not make sense from a white perspective but it makes perfect sense from a non-white perspective - hence the break up/divide. Brave way to introduce and explore the topic!

Brown Enough is the breath of fresh air. As a third-generation Latin man living in the U.S. I’ve often found myself feeling like I didn’t really have a solid home base, a community of sorts. My white peers often saw me as token and because I didn’t have a strong connection to my roots, I never really made many Latin friends. The effects of generational assimilation often left me feeling emotionally isolated instead of integrated. Brown Enough covers the topics and conversations I’ve always wanted to have but never found the space to. The ethno-conscious professionals and scholars Rivas interviews find that space and fill in the gaps. I finally feel heard!
