Irene Gayles is a dark skin black woman who has been dating within her race for her entire life. She has faced some obstacles in finding a healthy partner, including colorism & stereotyping.
Some important topics discussed:
- her experience growing up as a child & how she never felt beautiful or desired
- her belief that black men (especially when they acquire wealth) prefer women of other races because they are more submissive
- how she has been sexually fetishized by men of other races
- the difference in dating in the black community on the west coast vs. the east coast/south
