Love Connection, French & Jamaican – On Facebook!

July 29, 2016 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Facebook Love Connection

Two people made a love connection – on Facebook? Facebook? It can be a wonderful place – and it can also be a pit.

Let’s be real: Facebook – heck, the internet – is unique in that on the one hand, it’s an online space where you can connect with people who are witty, charming, funny, and just plain ole fun.

On the other hand, Facebook is sometimes a very scary place filled with trolls spewing hateful, racist rhetoric, and just plain ole idiocy.

Yet, like anything else in life, it’s all in how you use and approach it.

Thankfully, in the face of all the negativity that seems to run rampant on Facebook and other internet spaces, you can still find wonder. And delight.

And love.

Sometimes, you can make a love connection.

They Made A Love Connection – On Facebook!

I’m happy to report that today’s featured couple, Ludovic Delaveau and his gorgeous wife Melissa Wallace-Delaveau, didn’t allow the less-than-stellar aspect of Facebook to derail them.

Instead, they found each other – and found love as a result!

Melissa tells their story in her own words:

“Hello everyone! I will try and make this as short as I possibly can because this has been a wonderful and blessed journey for me since 2011.

My husband and I met on Facebook in late June 2011.  He is French and I am Jamaican.

He came to see me in my country in August of that same year and the rest is history. We got married in Jamaica in 2013.

In 2014 I moved from Jamaica to France (away from my family) to join my husband.

We now have a wonderful sweet, loving son named Tyler who is 10 months old. It wasn’t an easy journey for me but thank God we made it out safely.

I give thanks for being a Mom to a biracial child. Motherhood gets better with each passing day.

For me it’s not so much that our son is biracial, but rather I get to watch him grow up in two different cultures, two totally different worlds. He is getting the best of both sides.

My husband is the sweetest, loving, shy, humble, and all the other good words I can find. Lol! With all his flaws we love each other more than anything in this world.

One thing that keeps our marriage fresh and healthy is that we remind each other constantly how much love we have for each other.

And don’t get me wrong – we are not perfect by any means. Like every couple we have our flaws but we don’t argue or shout. We have calm discussions to solve our concerns.

We enjoy being married we love spending time with each other; travelling and exploring the world.

I’ll just leave it here for now because I could go on and on. God favors me. Blessing and lots of love to you all!”

Melissa’s parting advice?

“Love as if it’s your last time. Be patient – your Love will find you!”

Your Relationship Will Last If You Do This

Your Relationship Will Last

Want a relationship that will last?

Do this!

The only way a relationship will last is if you see it as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.

Loving Day Is Today!

June 12, 2016 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 1 Comment

Happy Loving Day 2016

Today Is Loving Day!

Loving Day 2016I never tire of reading about the wonderfully compelling love story of Mildred Jeter and Richard Loving.

In June 1958 they decided to buck the tide of ignorance and racism and pursue their American dream: to spend their lives living and loving each other in holy (and legal) matrimony.

The “Crime” Of Interracial Marriage

They had to go to Washington, DC for the ceremony. Even so, they were arrested in their own bedroom in the middle of the night by sheriff’s deputies for the “crime” of interracial marriage.

Richard and Mildred were prosecuted by the state. They were sentenced to a year in prison for their “crime,” but allowed to leave Virginia.

For 5 years they lived in exile, separated from their families and banished from the home state they loved.

Mildred and Richard finally grew tired of the fact that they couldn’t live as a married couple in any state they wanted to live.

Fighting Back

They decided to fight back.  In June of 1967, nine years to the month they were married, a decision was rendered in a landmark Supreme Court case.

They had won. At long last, Richard and Mildred had the right to live and live in marital bliss anywhere in the United States.

Their decision to fight back changed the legal landscape for interracially married couples.

Sadly, the Supreme Court decision didn’t end racism, hatred, ignorance or intolerance. These days, turning on the evening news is almost a sure-fire way to remain painfully aware of the fact that racism – whether inherent, overt or covert, real or imagined, never seems to be far from the surface.

I’m grateful for the advances that have been made, yet I’m mindful of the fact that 1967 was merely 49 years ago.

Nevertheless, interracial couples (we’re especially partial to those featuring Black women!) flourish and thrive because the actions of this brave couple paved the way.

A Bittersweet Ending

The Loving’s story had a bittersweet ending. In 1975, 17 years after their marriage, Mildred Loving lost her husband Richard in a tragic car accident. Mildred died in 2008 but she never remarried.

In a statement issued on the 4oth anniversary of the historic Supreme Court decision (June 12, 2007 – the year before she died) Mildred declared:

“ . . . not a day goes by that I don’t think of Richard and our love, our right to marry, and how much it meant to me to have that freedom to marry the person precious to me, even if others thought he was the ‘wrong kind of person’ for me to marry.”

So Grateful!

I thank God for Richard and Mildred Loving, and for them having a love for one another that transcended the climate and laws of their day.

Richard and Mildred, today we celebrate you – and we celebrate love.

Happy Loving Day!


Today’s featured couple is Karla and Don, both retired Navy veterans.

They have been married for 22 years.

Karla and Don were first featured on the blog in 2014. To read that post, click here.

Loving Day Celebration – And A Podcast First!

May 30, 2016 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Loving Day 2016

Loving Day is for Swirlers!

If you’re a Swirler – someone who dates/marries interracially – then you’ve probably heard of Loving Day.Richard and Mildred Loving.

Loving Day was created in honor of Mildred Jeter and Richard Loving. In June of 1958, Richard and Mildred decided to buck the tide of ignorance and racism and pursue their American dream.

They simply wanted to spend their lives living and loving each other in holy (and legal) matrimony. They went to Washington, DC for the ceremony but were arrested in their own bedroom in the middle of the night by sheriff’s deputies for the “crime” of interracial marriage.

Right.

The “crime” of interracial marriage.

They fought back and in June of 1967, nine years to the month that they were married, in a landmark Supreme Court case they eventually won the right to live and love in marital bliss anywhere in the United States.

That’s right.

ANYWHERE.

Another Landmark “First”

In Podcast Episode 105, The Swirl World Podcast enjoys another first: A video to accompany the audio!

Former podcast guest and fellow Swirler Williesha Morris shares a slide show commemorating her crowd funding campaign for Loving Day 2016 in Birmingham, Alabama.

We’re honored to partner with Williesha in this worthy campaign and “Loving” cause.

Check out Williesha’s slideshow, and then head on over to her site to contribute to her campaign.

Because of Richard and Mildred Loving, we have couples like Williesha and Jason Morris.
