You Down With The Swirl?

Shondaland Audio and iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

On this episode, OOD unpacks whether or not they are down with “the swirl.” Interracial relationships can be a touchy subject in the Black community and the girls are getting into all the awkward moments; from the repercussions of dating outside your race to the experience of being the only black person at your significant others family reunion. Oh, the trauma!
