“Ebony and Ivory go together in perfect harmony” That’s what the song says but in this episode the host of Stay Mentally Dope, Jasmine and Charmaine, are discussing The Fresh Prince episode in which one of the aunt’s marries a white man and the family was unsure of how to handle it (Season 2, Ep 6). Join us as we discuss interracial marriage and how this family adjusted to it. Of course we are adding the mental health aspect as we see how it affected the family fears, enmeshment within the family, and the structure of the control within the family. As always, we also have some questions about this episode that need answers and we want to know yours too!
