Unscripted: Beware The Iron Snowflake!

January 5, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 1 Comment

Sometimes you just have things on your mind and heart.

You encounter people, circumstances, and issues, and you wind up pondering on those subjects and mulling them over in your mind.

Oftentimes the “mulling things over” spills out and you just have to say something.

In our first podcast of 2015, Co-Host Adrienne London Leach goes totally unscripted and discusses The Iron Snowflake. Adrienne gives a shout out to swirling pioneer Lorraine Spencer, aka “Swirl Queen, of the popular blog Interracial Marriage and Family.

(Lorraine wrote an outstanding blog post on the subject. To read Lorraine’s take on the phenomenon of The Iron Snowflake, click here.)

Do you have an Iron Snowflake in your life?

In the podcast, Adrienne tells you how to recognize – and melt – the Iron Snowflake.

Isn’t She Lovely? Meet Shannon Blake of Facebook’s “Lovely Black Dolls!”

December 1, 2014 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

I could try to describe Shannon Blake’s “Lovely Black Dolls” Facebook page, yet I know that I cannot do it justice.

Lovely Black Dolls on Facebook is literally one of those things you have to see to believe.

Lovely – no, beautiful – no, GORGEOUS Black women and girls of every hue and skin tone, from all walks of life, from literally all over the globe.

The images are breathtaking, and they serve to further affirm what we know to be true:

Black women and girls are FIERCE.

Black women and girls are POWERFUL.

Black women and girls are WONDERFUL.

Black women and girls are A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH.

Black women and girls are LIKE. NO. OTHER!

In this podcast episode you will meet Shannon Blake, the creator of the immensely popular “Lovely Black Dolls” Facebook page.

Shannon is a woman with a vision, and she has more than enough love for Black women to share. In addition to sharing her vision for Lovely Black Dolls, Shannon discusses her three other highly successful Facebook pages:

Living Black Barbie Dolls

What A Beautiful World God Has Created

and

Beautiful Hotels

Her fans range in the thousands (Beautiful Hotels is well on its way to 200,000 fans).

In her conversation with The Swirl World’s Co-Host Adrienne London Leach, Shannon shares her strategies for growth and success.

He’s From Ireland; She’s From Arizona – And They Met In The Swirl World!

November 10, 2014 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 2 Comments

If you’re a regular reader of the blog, then you recognize this green-eyed hunk of Irish eye-candy:

It’s Patrick J. Browne, a member of The Swirl World Team.

We interviewed Patrick in Podcast Episode 008, when he was finishing up his college studies.

Whelp, we also featured the gorgeous Danyell Delaney Huffman, one of our Swirling Singles:

We’re happy to report that Patrick + Danyell = A Swirl World Love Connection!

Woot Woot!

In this episode they talk to Co-Host Adrienne London Leach about their “Ireland to Arizona” love story.

With all the horror stories we hear about online and long distance dating, Patrick and Danyell serve as the poster children for the reality that these types of relationships – and interracial relationships, no less – really can WORK.

You can listen to the episode on Sound Cloud by clicking here:

Side Note: Recognize those voices? Danyell and Patrick are also the sexy voiceovers behind The Swirl World Podcast’s intros and outros!

Of course, we’ll be sharing more from this wonderful couple, so stay tuned.

When A White Man Thinks He’s Golden

October 20, 2014 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

All White men are GOLDEN!

Um . . . NOT!

Here’s one way you can recognize when a White man thinks he’s golden – and make sure you don’t fall for the okey-doke.

Yours Truly, ever on the lookout to preserve and protect the interests of Black women, decided to share some of my observations on a specific red flag Black women should pay attention to when dating or seeking to build a relationship with a White man.

I think I’m going to call it “The Golden Syndrome.”

Give it a listen, and feel free to leave a message in the comments to let me know what you think.

Have you met a White man who was stricken with “The Golden Syndrome?” Tell me all about it!
