What happens when a blonde, blue-eyed girl from Utah marries a dark-skinned boy from a tiny island in Tonga - and then decides to talk honestly about bias, culture, and love on a podcast?

In this episode of The Aloha EQ Podcast, I'm inviting you into a tender, real conversation about racial bias, prejudice, and fear of "other" - for ALL OF US, no matter where we come from or what we look like. We'll explore the jokes we grew up with, the quiet comments we don't question, and how those little things shape the way our children see people who are different from them.

This isn't about blaming one race or defending another. It's about noticing our own patterns, choosing curiosity over fear, and learning how to love wider and deeper than we were taught.

*Hit play, then ask yourself: What's one old story or joke I'm ready to retire so my grandchildren never inherit it? And, if this episode stirs something in you, share it with someone you love and keep the conversation going. Mahalo nui loa, Ruth
