    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.

Must Listen

I’ve known the host for a long time, and have worked with her more times than I can count. Listening to her podcasts and her thoughts, especially as it pertains to the NOLA community, is something that should be required of any resident of the 504.
