Cue music….can you pay my bills, can you pay my telephone bills? Do you pay my automo’ bills? If you haven’t been able to guess what today’s topic is about, let us help you decode.

Hey communiTEA!!!!!! Hope you’ve had a great week so far and you’re ready to dive into this week’s episode. We don’t know about you, but when the conversation about relationship and marriage come up, someone always asks how do you find the one or how do you know he/she is the one? Surely, you’ve heard some form of this this statement at some point. Right?

Stereotypes!!!!! What roles do they play in your relationship? Given that we’re from different cultures, we’ve always had to navigate stereotypes brought on by ourselves and others. Let’s just say your subconscious stays packing a bit of implicit bias and it happens to make its way into conversations, arguments etc. In today’s episode, we discuss some of the things we were surprised to learn about each other when we started dating.

We realized we had been giving y’all a lot of subject themed episodes and we decided to drop a story time this time! On this episode, we’re talking about meeting the parents while we were dating. Usually, depending on the type of family you come from, introducing a significant other can be nerve racking. For some, you never bring it up until you’re ready to get married while for others, you start the introductions from the get go.
