Dating black while black in Portland | @cheycamille | @obabalu (Ep. 98)

On this episode I am joined by @cheycamille and @obabalu as we discuss what it's like for THEM trying to date black while living in an extremely white city. Cheyenne hails from Southside Jamaica Queens, NY and Oba grew up in NJ. As a Portland native I always like to hear the perspective of Portland from brothas and sistas that aren't from Portland. The backstory of how this episode came about stems from a Tariq Nasheed @Tariqelite YouTube video I watched on December 24th that included his commentary on a video Cheyenne made about an interracial dating experience she had in college with a white guy. After watching Tariq's video I went to her YouTube page and seen a video she made about moving to Portland. So I immediately reached out to her about coming on the show. Oba and I have had discussions on the challenges of dating black in Portland, Cheyenne expressed in her video that she is not in favor of interracial dating, so I thought it would be great to have this discussion with the both of them. I've been out the game for nearly a decade, but it's fascinating to hear a fresh perspective of the black experience in my hometown. ***Lyft Driver Promo Code: Emmanuel32636*** Give 135 rides in your first 30 days and earn $1,300 guaranteed!
