What does it mean to be Brown Enough in America today? That's a question Dominican-Colombian-American actor and storyteller Christopher Rivas has been navigating his whole life. Listen in as Chris discusses identity, careers, and being proud of who you are with other Brown activists, creators and change-makers. Everyone's got a story. Brown Enough is the stories between Black and white.
Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the feed to find Rubirosa, a ten-part documentary series about Porfirio Rubirosa, the Dominican diplomat, playboy, and international polo champion who was the inspiration for James Bond. The show tells the true story of Rubi’s incredible and complicated life and Chris learns what it can teach him about love, success, family, Hollywood, code-switching, white-washing, and the roller coaster of finding himself in a world not made for Brown folks like him.

Love the Show
Christopher is a great storyteller! Listening to his podcast allows me to understand more about the Brown” Experience and look at my husband with kinder eyes! Love your work and your artistry!
Wild!!!!!
Chris you are wild in the “Please Don’t Hate Me” episode. That being said, within the first 5 minutes of your previous girlfriend speaking - it was clear why you broke up. There are profound cultural, historical, and emotional issues that affect interracial (specifically white & non-white) relationships.
It does not make sense from a white perspective but it makes perfect sense from a non-white perspective - hence the break up/divide.
Brave way to introduce and explore the topic!
