Is This TMI – Too Much Information?

March 9, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

CHONILLALast week we gave you Part One of “Chatting with CHONILLA,” Sherley Joseph and Clove Roy of Montreal, Quebec, a.k.a. CHO & NILLA.

We’re back with Part Two. In this episode, Sherley speaks very candidly about some reservations she had about her body when she started dating her now-husband Clove.

They also discuss why they don’t ascribe to the “kum ba ya; we all bleed the same” mindset.

They keep it real, they keep it 100 – that’s the CHONILLA way!

Chatting With CHONILLA – Part 1

March 4, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Clove-AND-Sherley

Whew . . . !

The upload of Podcast Episode 062 (and the next two upcoming podcast episodes) have been a long time in the making.

Y’all, I’m not even going to tell you when we recorded this podcast with the one, the only, Sherley and Clove aka CHO & NILLA of Montreal, Quebec.

Yep – CHONILLA.

CHONILLA!

Let me just say, Adrienne and I interviewed Shirley and Clove early in our podcast journey (we launched June 9, 2014).

We were such newbies, and thrilled to have these veteran interracial podcasters to come on our show.

Sherley and Clove have been blogging and podcasting  from Canada for years, and we were thoroughly geeked out to have them on our show.

We wound up chatting for almost two hours, and it’s taken me with my anal self this long to get their show edited and up.

*Hangs head in shame*

I know they forgive me, though (thanks, Sherley and Clove!), and we’re happy to finally present our conversation with them.

Shucks, it’s almost time to have them back on!

*Grins*

They’re a riot! Woot! Woot!
