How To Attract a Quality Mate

September 30, 2014 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Is dating interracially “hard?” Where are the “good men” and the “good women?” Why can’t they be found? Why is it so hard to find and attract someone who wants a committed relationship?

If you have questions about attracting a quality mate and enjoying a quality relationship, who better to ask than someone who’s enjoying success in these endeavors?

Meet Karla and Don, who have been married 20+ years.

Karla and Don1

This is Part 3 of my conversation with interracially married military couple Karla and Don as they put to rest the “It’s hard to find a good man/woman” myth.

Karla and Don share two factors essential to experiencing success, and relay the #1 component making all the difference in finding Mr. or Mrs. Right.

The conversation with them was so good it’s actually in four parts. This part dropped so much knowledge I had to skip it up.

You can also listen to this episode on Sound Cloud.

Stay tuned for a full profile on this couple.

September 18, 2014 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

He also affirms the unique beauty and attractiveness of Black women, saying emphatically, “That’s just the way it is!”

Say It Loud: They’re Big, Beautiful and PROUD!

September 10, 2014 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

So at the end of Podcast Season 1 we shared with you a brief excerpt from our interview with married Swirlers JJ and Dani Tatum, one of the most striking couples we’ve ever seen.

Dani and JJ 1

They’re Big. They’re Bold. They’re Beautiful. They’re Proud.

And they’re in LOVE!

Here’s Part 1 of our interview with Mr. and Mrs. Tatum.

JJ and Dani share how they met on Facebook.

Dani, a plus-sized alternative model, also discusses how she “owns” her beauty – and encourages all Black women to do the same. She shares how she builds and maintains a healthy sense of self-esteem.

Her husband JJ praises her beauty and makes no bones about the fact that he believes she’s the most gorgeous woman on Earth.

And no wonder: here’s Dani, aka “Dani D’Kapitator” in all her fierce gorgeousness:

Dani 1

(And somewhere, we can just hear JJ saying, “I thought you’d see it my way!”)

In this episode, Dani talks about owning your beauty, and JJ talks about owning your love.

This is a “can’t miss” episode – stay tuned for Part 2!

You can listen to this episode on Sound Cloud.

It’s Time For Some Interracial Romance!

September 4, 2014 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Today’s guest post features interracial romance author Tiffany Monique.

Her new book, Jordan’s Deliverance, the MUCH anticipated sequel to Audra’s Sin, launches today and is now available on Shara Azod LLC!

TM_JordansDeliverance 750x1125

 

Book Summary:

When Jordan Anderson is asked to assist Michael Sinchester in “popping the question” to her old college friend, Audra Lang, she’s happy to assist in any way possible. The one downfall is that while Jordan is knee-deep in romantic scheming, she’s also stuck working side-by-side with Michael’s best man, running errands, arranging plans, and being an all-around gopher for the happy couple.

From the moment Riordan Deliverance arrives with Audra’s custom engagement ring, Jordan is in a constant state of arousal and annoyance. She wants to wring his sexy, tanned throat, smack his chiseled, strong jaw and punch him in his laughing blue eyes. What about this man screams chaos to her? Why is she running like a rabbit from a wolf? Every nerve in her body is drawn to him, so why would every brain cell tell her danger is near?

Riordan is a master strategist, the man the U.S. intelligence community depends on to keep the baddies of the world at bay. For the life of him, he can’t understand why Jordan won’t give him the time of day. Luckily, there’s nothing he loves better than solving puzzles. But to solve the mystery of Jordan’s animosity, Riordan will have to lay his own soul bare to save them both.

Author’s Note:  Though Jordan’s Deliverance can be read as a stand-alone book, it was intended as a sequel toAudra’s Sin and should be read in that order to enjoy certain plot and character references.
