Ep80: Interracial Dating 101 ft. Theo Pt. 2
We are welcomed by an extremely special guest who has been mentioned MANY times by J.Mix, but the listeners never got a name... til now. In honor of their 10th anniversary, J.Mix is sitting down with her boyfriend, Theo, to reminisce about their relationship, which just so happens to fall on the interracial spectrum. In this episode, they dive deeper into the racially-charged challenges they've had to overcome. They also address why their long-term relationship has yet to graduate to the legally permanent contract that is expected of partnerships that last longer than 2.5 years.
