I'm a native Louisianan currently living in Dallas, TX. I have a B.S. degree in marketing, an MBA and a PhD in higher education administration. I love writing and research, and also thoroughly enjoy reading and working out.

I am passionate about cultural/ethnic diversity and interracial relationships; so much so that my dissertation focused on these concepts. I'm a widow, and I started dating interracially a few years after my husband passed away.

I do check the FB page regularly for these photos. Thanks for posting them! It was also a lesson in rolling with the punches the universe appears to be delivering you, sometimes they are just nudges in a certain direction. 🙂

BW/WM couples are everywhere! You’re going to see them more and more, because as I stated in another response, the numbers are steadily rising. We post photo after photo of IR couples and families on our Facebook page. It’s very gratifying when we receive comments from women (and men) stating how encouraged they are to see the photos – it gives them hope.

Today, grateful for a really nice turn of events. I was pretty out of it when i went to my weekly show Wed night, my b;day, was heavily affected by the fading cold, and lost my cap. Got it late last year, when the one i wore for years started getting holes in it. Didn’t like it as much as the old one, but it was OK. So, went back to the same store where i got it (and its two predecessors ), and on the way in ran into a BW/WM couple, with a small girl. The woman was gorgeous, the girl really cute. Nice sight, the second of the day after seeing one at the Market earlier in the day. And it turned out there was a cap which i liked as much as the one i had a long time. Thus, an unfortunate turn led to a really positive outcome. Grateful for small favors from the cosmos.
