One member of my site has been confronted with an issue that has definitely hit close to home for me in the past. I have learned how to navigate the situation when a loved one is not necessarily thrilled about my choice of boyfriend. Watch my video as I give advice on how to deal with loved ones who need to accept that you are dating outside of your race.

Are you really going to be an actress on Beyond the Break?

Are you really going to be an actress on Beyond the Break?

sound advice!

at the end of the day the only people who have to deal with the relationship, are the two people involved!

I haven't dated outside of my race, so I dont know what its like to be scrutinized or even confronted of who I choose to be with.

However, I do agree with listening to your parents and even loved ones (when they are about your best interests) when it comes to matters of that affect. Had I listened to my mother about an ex before I went "head first" I would have been spared many tears and stress.

Great advice!

Realmente eres una bella mujer, extraordinaria y sexi, me gusta verte arreglándote el pelo.Tienes un pelo muy bonito.
Desde Madrid ,España con toda mi admiración.

I totally get what she is asking, I am a latina girl and my boyfriend is Caucasian
at first when I was younger dating out of my race my parents were not thrilled but as time went on they accepted my decisions and respected them , because in the end I was only and now have been looking for the right person. No matter what race, it is about how he treats you that counts.

Kim, I totally agree with what you said about dating outside your race. At the end of the day its about who u love and who loves you and the people in your life should accept that. As a Black woman,I've never dated outside of my race, but I'm definately open to it. Thanks for what you said!!

Mandy, just look up the clip from when Kim was on the Wendy show a few months back. They took her measurements there on the show...though it's not a big deal 'cause she's a beautiful healthy woman & measurements shouldn't matter!!

I didn't submit this question but THANK YOU for it anyways. I'm the exact same way, I have never daten within my culture and my family will not accept a "cetain special guy" in my life & it's been an on-going battle for years..but I still continue to see him because he had never done anything wrong in his life & he's good to me.

Kim I think it'd be really great if you spoke up more about this subject. It helps a lot of us girls who go through the same situation & at the same time you're helping change the world's close-minded views.

You are truly a great woman Kimberly.

kim can you please tell me your workout routine, and diet....i really want to know also your measurements and how much do you weight please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Kim,

I think u gave good advise about the dating outside your race !!
Im Turkish(muslim) & I live in The Netherlands & Im attracted to black guys, its been like that for a few years now! my parents would never allow me to date or even marry someone outside my race but its all about you bein happy, I think ur not living for your parents your living for yourself. my parents still got them old values they hold on to while the turkish ppl in Turkey are much more modern!
Im gonna follow my heart! & I hope I meet a good man who is going to treat me right! race doesnt matter !!
thats how I feel about it! if ur parents wanna see you happy they gon have to let u make ur own decisions, you'll learn from them
I really appreciate the video Kim!
there are a lot of girls struggling with this problem!

Your last name is Ian so that means your armenian but then yet you never talk about it or anything so are you ashamed of where you or your ancestors come from ? i bet you dont even know where it is i dont know just an opinion

I think Arab girl definetly has a point.
Sorry Kim, your situation is VERY different from nz's.
Her parents are most likely not kidding when they say they are going to disown her. Your father already married outside his culture.

Although I understand you advice, I don't think it's going to help in this situation. It can be, as Arab girl says, dangerous for her.
