Jess is Chinese-Jamaican-Irish-Canadian. Brandon is Canadian of British descent. Race and culture have always been central topics in our relationship and this week, we’re sharing our perspective as a mixed-race couple. We don’t speak for anyone but ourselves, but we hope this conversation leads to more meaningful ones in your own relationships. We discuss:

Jess’ mixed race experience and expectations as a model minority
The importance of creating safe spaces for your partner in mixed-race relationships
How to deal with family members’ blatant and subtle racism
5 insights for white folks looking to support POC in relationships
