Why do people of mixed race experience rejection from the communities that make up their identity and heritage?
The ladies discuss comments made online about the biracial identity of Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States, and explore the identity, experience and acceptance of mixed race people, asking how we can tackle the racism that exists within and between highly-melanated communities. Guest starring Marisha Pink, Author, Entrepreneur and Co-Founder of United Melanin Group.
