018: How They’re Raising Daughter to Love her Mixed Heritage
Manage episode 197690219 series 1700221
In Episode 18, I had a fascinating conversation with multicultural married couple Ilene & Jorge about cultural identity & how it significantly shapes everything from personality, to relationships, to communication styles, traditions to raising kids.
Ilene's father is a 2nd generation Russian and Jewish and her mother is Filipino & Catholic. Jorge grew up in New York with parents who were Puerto Rican + African American, Colombian, Mexican and self-identifies as Afro-Latina.
We discuss:
- not looking Filipino or white enough
- How having parents who were unapologetically proud of their heritage impacted who she is
- Why she naturally gravitates to people who are different
- What it means to be Afro-Latina
- How understanding their love languages and families allowed them to better understand each other & their cultural upbringing
- What they want their little girl to know about embracing her mixed “Other” multicultural heritage
