Jhen (@monogamishpod) grew up in Jamaica and moved to America when she was 20, whereas I (@polyphiliablog) grew up in Hong Kong and moved to the UK when I was 16. We talk about the intersection of polyamory and race, including:

- our experiences as polyamorous women of colour in both our home countries and the ones we currently live in

- the difference between growing up in a majority-white country versus growing up among people of your own race, and how that impacts your psyche

- how our respective cultures allowed and even normalised cheating (but only by men), but treated it as the elephant in the room to “keep up appearances”

- whether or not it is ethical to have a “no white people in the polycule” boundary

- how gender is racialised and race is gendered in Black and Asian communities

- How certain groups of POC engage in proximity to whiteness

and much more.
