Your Fave Couple Almost Didn't Make It

Unbelievable though it may be this example of Black Love had a moment where it didn't seem like we would be moving forward. It was around the time of our 13th year of wedded bliss.

We're Back, Again!!

It’s a great story you won’t want to miss. This week, Paul and Ellyn are back and catching up after their extended break, sharing where they’ve been and what’s been going on. They also kick things off with a hard-hitting Mock Minute about Finland banning cell phones in schools. Of course, the Mock Minute doesn’t stay a minute for long—it turns into a much bigger conversation. Want the full, uncut discussion?
