While there are so many movements that have come up to protest women being body shamed, male body shaming is an insidious issue that is not given the attention it deserves. This may be compounded by the fact that it's not socially acceptable for men to talk about their feelings being hurt.This is partly why even Trump being body shamed had become fair game. Granted the outgoing president did body shaming more than anyone else in pubic office.On Episode 40 of The Interracial Couple Podcast, Matthew and...2020-11-1727 min

How can they comment on your dressing style without putting you on the defensive? That's what happened with me and Cera. When we met, I used to wear a rugged mustache, torn boots and everything that didn't look out of place with these. For sure I was ready for the wardrobe upgrade. So when Cera called for a complete make-over, I heard no reservations and let her take care of how I look.2020-11-0125 min

The Interracial CoupleWhat to Do If Your Husband/ Wife has Anger Issues #34Anger is a natural part of our lives. Yet anger is perceived in different ways by different people. For instance, while it is allowable -even encouraged in boys and men as part of being stoic, women are not allowed to have a temper. Moreso, black women like myself in fear of fulfilling the stereotype of the angry black woman.On this episode of The Interracial Couple Podcast, we discuss anger.

The Interracial CoupleHow RACISM Affects Our Relationship #30How does race affect our relationship?We identify as interacial couple because of the color of our skin. Otherwise, we would just be a regular couple. The last few weeks have been intense for Black people in America. First George Floyd and now Jacob Blake and countless of other people unnamed here. There is no time to heal or take a break. It’s exhausting. It can put me in a state of anger all the time, if I’m not careful. No matter how much time I spend in mediation, it’s affecting our relationship. 2020-09-0827 min
