A study reported by the Washington Post and conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute found that for every 100 friends, a white American had 91 who were white. By comparison, the average black American had eight white friends and 83 black friends.
So what’s the deal here? Why are Americans sticking to their racial groups, and how can we change that? In this episode, Alechia and Dani talk about the importance of mixing your friendships across racial lines. Find out when they started to intentionally diversify their friendships and how doing so has benefited both their personal and business lives. From personal friendships to business relationships, learn why you need friendships that are not just beyond racial lines but beyond borders as well!

QUOTABLES:
“But that is a very real burden. To feel as though you have to be sure that you don't embarrass your race.”
“If one friend is always in the role of teacher and the other is always in the role of learner, then the friendship is lacking reciprocity.”

I loved Dani views of this topic because I grew up in church also , but as an adult I figured out for myself that we truly should have a relationship with God and I listen to Mike Todd a preacher from Tulsa and he also states same thing. Belief and relationship with God doesn’t require rituals or any of that. I don’t let anything that I’ve seen in the church sway me from my belief in God. I believe in God not man or a religion. God does want us to fellowship with others but God is everywhere! I turn on my worship music all the time at home, in the car etc. it doesn’t require us to be in church because we can have church anywhere
Even from a man’s viewpoint, this show was indeed very insightful and thought provoking.
