It's about to get real. ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 00:00:07 We'll never fully understand racism because we're not white 00:02:09 Growing up biracial and what that experience is really like 00:04:53 Speaking up for the Black community as a biracial person 00:10:26 Biracial relationships and how they're viewed in the Black community 00:10:40 Are you a sellout for marrying outside of your race? 00:12:16 Exposing your kids to different cultures 00:13:25 White family cutting their child off for marrying a Black man 00:14:02 Can we ever truly understand racism if we didn't live it? 00:14:32 Racism is a learned behavior 00:17:33 Why white people don't have to teach their kids about racism 00:21:45 Every girl needs a best Black friend 00:26:21 Erica Kirk and Druski skit 00:35:04 Dating outside your race 00:38:23 Don't be in a demographic where you're not wanted ❤️ IF THIS HIT HOME Like this video, drop your thoughts in the comments we read them all!

    One Decision Can Change Your Child’s Life

    What happened to Jada West really puts things into perspective, and it led us into a real conversation about kids, bullying, and how things escalate. We talk about responsibility, how kids are reacting to situations now, and what we’re actually teaching them when it comes to handling conflict. We are actively praying for all parties effected by this tragedy.  🎙️ Real Talk. Real Life.
