Conversation Series 149 – Interracial Relationships in America and Abroad
Details
As many of you know at this point, I'm permanently leaving the United States with my partner, Luc. I've been searching for any resources that could help me with my transition, and that's where I discovered Elizabeth Silleck La Rue and her husband Wes. You can check out their respective Substacks here and here.
Elizabeth and Wes do amazing work with assisting people with the emigration process from the United States to countries around the world. I became a paid subscriber after reading the impeccably researched and thoroughly informative articles they regularly put out. I also value their philosophy of conscientious emigration, which you can read about on their website here.
Long story short we're all in interracial relationships, and Elizabeth and Wes have experienced varying racial dynamics in the United States and Mexico that may inform my future experience with Luc. Aside from that it's just not often that people in interracial relationships get to competently share notes about our experiences with other interracial couples (or anyone at all). So when Elizabeth suggested we make arrangements to have that conversation with each other and our partners, I jumped at the chance!
Join us as we delve into the trials and tribulations, both internal and external, of experiencing an interracial relationship in various geographical regions. We all have a ton to share, so it is bound to be an excellent exchange. Bring your comments and questions to the chat, and I look forward to seeing you there!Don't forget that anyone can join me as a guest on The Contraband Wagon. The only criteria are an open mind and an open heart. We also allow for anonymous guests (to the audience, not to me). Check out my conversation with Ben to get a flavor of what conversations on race with me are like and to hear some information about the future of The Contraband Wagon. Be active in the conversation by posting your questions and comments in the chat. See you there!
