Raising Brandon with Vanessa
Manage episode 332546951 series 3345116
Today, Chris will have a chat with her friend Vanessa about raising a biracial son. When Vanessa told her parents she was pregnant at 18, her parents were surprisingly accepting of the situation. She was married to the father for several years and stayed friends for about 10 years after they divorced. Even though they’re not on great terms now, Vanessa’s son Brandon has been encouraged to have his own relationship with his father regardless of what had gone on before.
Vanessa finds herself often going to bat for those around her, particularly when people are being rude, insensitive, or racist.
