It became a conversation about identity, family, perception, belonging, and how the world views people. In this episode, I discuss assumptions, stereotypes, cultural differences, biracial identity, and why these conversations deserve more honesty and less judgement.This isn't about telling anyone who they should date.It's about understanding the layers, experiences, and realities that often go unspoken.✨Subscribe to The Corner with Jay✨Share this episode with someone✨Join the conversation in The Corner with Jay Community on Facebook]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">b1c52688-09da-4cc1-a133-6fbaff163200</guid><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2026 02:41:44 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72661670/426722033_44100_2_4013aea0fff82.mp3" length="14352025" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Jacqueline</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Let's talk about a topic people often avoid.As a Black woman and mother of biracial children, interracial dating became more than a relationship conversation for me a long time ago.
