These thoughtful, thought-provoking conversations are soul food of a category I haven’t found a name for and didn’t know I needed!

I really enjoyed the Rubirosa series! I hope to hear more stories like this!

christopher always asks insightful question and it’s a great way to learn

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!

Christopher Rivas gives it to you straight with no chaser. Every second is worth listening to. If you gave this show anything less than 5 🌟, your out of your mind. Gracias Christopher for reppin the Latinx Cultura. Pa’lante! ✊🏼❤️✊🏼

I listened to all of the podcast in an afternoon. Each one was incredibly informative. Thank you for spreading much knowledge and helping to heal old wounds.

Her first definition of assimilation was correct. Her second definition is multiculturalism or diversity and inclusion. Shedding your foreign identity, and embracing the perceived identity of Those in power is what colonists and those who hold power wanted. Assimilation is how they want you to survive in a place that was not meant for you.
