I’m A White Man – Raising A Black Daughter

June 1, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Rod, a White man married to a Black woman and living in Birmingham, AL, was a recent guest on the podcast in an episode entitled “Swirling, Southern Style.”

Today, Rod returns to the show with his wife Stephanie.

Stephanie discusses how much time she took to introduce Rod to her 12-year-old daughter (who has a Black father). She also shares the steps she took to ensure she was making the right relationship moves for her and her daughter.

Rod shares his thoughts on the process, and tells what it’s like to raise a Black daughter.

This powerful, enlightening conversation is a “must listen” for any Black woman with children desiring to date and marry interracially – and for any White man who wants to date and marry a Black woman who has children.

Swirling, Southern Style!

April 6, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Here at The Swirl World we receive a number of emails and Facebook in-boxes, and we’re thankful for the positive feedback we receive.

Our emails come from men and women who appreciate our upbeat, positive take on interracial dating and marriage, aka Swirling.

One of our fans, Rod, a White man happily married to a Black woman and living in Birmingham, AL, reached out to us.

He wanted to share his perspective on swirling in Birmingham, AL – a place many of us may not associate in a positive way with interracial relationships.

In this special Men’s Edition Podcast, Rod talked to Adrienne and me about “Swirling, Southern Style,” and shared with us about life and love in Birmingham – a Southern city with a storied civil rights history.

Rod also debunks the myth of the “shy guy” and shares a unique tip on a place non-Black men can go to meet Black women.

Enjoy!

Loving Black Women Is Not A Fetish – It’s A Preference!

March 16, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 1 Comment

A bit of time has passed since we presented an edition of Mondays With Mike, featuring our good friend and Team Member, Australian Michael Miocevich.

When we began corresponding with him on The Swirl World Facebook page, he told us,

“I am a white guy from Western Australia, and I have always been attracted to black girls/women. At my first school social I danced with a girl from South Africa, and I never forgot it, or her. I have met and dated a lot of girls, but I never fall as hard as I do for Black women.”

Mike started writing a column for us and became a member of our Team.Since then, he’s been busy – working and doing things like being on national Australian television to discuss interracial dating.

You go, Boi!

Mike slowed down enough to chat with our Men’s Editor Mark Custard for a special segment of The Swirl World Podcast – The Men’s Edition.

Mike doesn’t hold anything back as he talks about his love for and appreciation of Black women.

He says unabashedly that his love for Black women is not a fetish – it’s a PREFERENCE!

What Black woman doesn’t appreciate knowing that?

White Boy Fresh – Conservationist John Griffith

January 26, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 1 Comment

Have you seen this video??

Or this one??

We saw the first video and became extremely curious.

We wondered: Who is this guy??

Thanks to clicking through to YouTube and reading the information from the profile superior research methods we discovered the mystery man is none other than California Conservation Corps Crew Manager John Griffith.

John is committed to diversity in the conservation and environmentalism movements – and guess what else?

He’s a Swirler! Woot Woot

We contacted John and he graciously consented to an interview.

John leads a very interesting life! In addition to working in the Corps, he’s the author of Totem Magic: Going MAD, a book about 6th graders with magical powers who help the world’s endangered species.

John is so committed to conservation, 100% of the proceeds from book sales are donated to conservation and environmental groups.

We’re happy to report that talking to John is just as fun, informative and entertaining as looking at the videos on his YouTube channel.

Give a listen to our convo with John Griffith – aka “White Boy Fresh.”

He’s hilarious!

This Scotsman Loves Black Women!

December 22, 2014 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 12 Comments

Sneak Peek:

We’re launching a Men’s Podcast!

Woot Woot!

We have some VERY BIG plans in store for The Swirl World in 2015.

Behind the scenes we’ve been busier than Santa’s elves, setting things in motion and getting everything in place for the New Year.

And just like the kids who can’t keep the details of Daddy’s Christmas gift a secret, we decided we couldn’t wait until January 1 to share some of our big news – we’re letting you in on some of it NOW.

We have new Avatars, one for the website and regular podcast:

And one for the Men’s Podcast:

And did you notice our new tagline?

WOOT!

The Swirl World Men’s Podcast will feature exclusive interviews with men from every part of the globe – both foreign and domestic.

They’ll be sharing the Who, What, When, Where and How of their love for Black Women, and all from their male perspectives.

First up:

Scottish businessman and philanthropist Kenny Young.

Kenny is a member of The World of the Swirl, which is The Swirl World’s private Facebook group.

When describing himself Kenny says, “I have Irish blood and a Scottish heart.”

Born to Irish parents, Kenny was reared in Scotland and considers himself a Scotsman.

He sat down and chatted with The Swirl World Podcast Co-Host Adrienne London Leach.

Kenny described the origins of his attraction for African women, and very clearly articulated some of the many reasons for his attraction.

He discusses his country, his businesses, his love for Black women and his philanthropic efforts.

Kenyan children express their love for Kenny

Kenny tithes 10 percent of his business profits back to the Kenyan community and is the founder of the City of Hope Foundation. Here, Kenyan children express their love and appreciation for Kenny.

Kenny has a wonderful sense of humor – we know you’re going to love his Scottish brogue!

We especially love the fact that Kenny loves and admires Black women, and proudly proclaims his preference.
