We talk about diversity in the workplace and in schools, but we rarely examine the makeup of our close circles. In this episode, my friend Kaia and I have an uncomfortable but much-needed conversation about cross-racial friendships and more specifically our cross-racial friendship. We talk about our upbringings and how they shaped how we view friendships today through the lens of race in America.
