SHOW NOTES: https://www.onairella.com/post/241-cross-racial-friendships 

Tiffany Ellis and I are discovering there's so much to learn and enjoy when we widen our circles, expand beyond our comfort zones, and are willing to say the things that others won't - all in the name of friendship and connection. 

WHAT WE TALK ABOUT:

• Women supporting women....all women.
• Cross-Racial friendships
• Why are they important? Why are they hard(er)?
• When the media is creating narratives and feeding you what it thinks will provoke and engage you, the best antidote - in our opinion - is to make a friend!
• In 2014, a study found that three-quarters of white people don’t have any non-white friends!
• How to make friends that don't look like you
• What NOT to do when we're trying to build real relationships (vs engaging in tokenism)
• Why social media probably isn't the best place for this work
• Intent vs impact, performative vs transformative - building relationships on safe ground
• Our differences makes for richer experiences... and yet, we have so much in common!
