Close Your Eyes – And Open Your Heart!

October 13, 2014 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 1 Comment

The Swirl World Podcast Co-Host Adrienne London Leach recently enjoyed a wonderful conversation with author, singer and Swirler April Poindexter French.

Come on, people – is April GORGEOUS, or what???

April possesses a bewitching sultry glow. She’s got it going on – just ask Bryan, her husband of 22 years.

April and Bryan are the proud parents of three handsome sons.

April discusses how she almost missed out on the man of her dreams.

She shares practical advice for Black women on the finer points of interracial dating and marriage.

One of her many pearls of wisdom?

“Close your eyes – and open your heart.”

Looking at this photo of her beautiful family makes me shudder to think what may have happened if she hadn’t followed her own advice!

Thank heavens she did.

Listen closely to what April had to say.

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!

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.

024| Session With A Dating Coach

August 18, 2014 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 2 Comments

I like to believe I know quite a bit about dating and marriage. After all, I’ve counseled more singles and couples than I can count, and I have a track record of being “spot on” in my estimations and predictions.

But never mind all that – I had the opportunity to sit down and enjoy the experience of a Dating Coach dropping knowledge on me.

And who is this Dating Coach, you might ask?

None other than Zabeth, the award-winning blogger over at InterracialDatingCoach.com, and author of The New Dating Rules For Black Women: Dating Etiquette.

I snagged a copy of Zabeth’s book and I advise you to do the same. You can purchase it from her site via PayPal by clicking here, or obtain a download from Amazon for your Kindle by clicking here.

Zabeth has the uncanny ability to be classy, cool and instructive, all while exuding a vibe that makes you feel like you’re chatting with your Bestie.

I greatly admire Zabeth – she’s sharp and she’s smart, and she keeps her fingers on the pulse of current events and issues affecting Black women.

I’m not ashamed to say I stalk her Twitter feed – @Zabeth8 – I admire her just that much.

I advise you to grab a pen and paper, and get ready to jot down some notes. Zabeth discusses “The Rules,” lays out a plan of action for women who seriously want to make advances in the dating scene.

Listen and learn, Dear Readers. Listen and learn.

You can also listen to the podcast on Sound Cloud.

Want some good interracial dating coaching? Send Zabeth an email at Zabeth91@yahoo.com.

Teaching Hair Love To Young Girls

July 21, 2014 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

In this episode Adrienne and I interviewed the fun-filled Mechal Renée Roe, author of Happy Hair.

Raised in St. Louis by a single mother of three girls, Mechal has always been fascinated with art.

She often used the medium as a form of escape of an under-served community.

She has, fortunately, allowed these experiences to be a catalyst, rather than a hindrance, to all of her wildest dreams.

As an adult, Mechal used her experiences as a child from a mixed shade family to write and illustrate Happy Hair.

Happy Hair is a call and response picture book that promotes positive self-esteem and hair love to girls of all ages. Happy Hair covers different shades and hair types all while being fun and fashionable!

Her book is a celebration of the uniqueness of natural hair, and all of its styles.

This book is the foundation to building Happy Hair in young girls, thus enabling them to grow up into women who will fully embrace their unique beauty.

In addition to discussing her book, Mechal (pronounced “McCall”) discusses cutting off her locs, her new ‘do, hair care products and Black women’s beauty and uniqueness – all the ingredients for an interesting, stimulating and thought provoking conversation!

You can also listen to the episode on Sound Cloud:

Purchase copies of Happy Hair on Amazon or Barnes & Noble. For signed copies and special bulk pricing, email Mechal at HappyHairgirls@gmail.com.

Follow Mechal on Twitter @HappyHairGirls and on Instagram. To “Like” the Happy Hair Facebook page, click here.
