Unscripted: Women Doing the MOST

August 30, 2017 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 1 Comment

In this podcast episode, Adrienne, Rachel and I engage in a candid, unscripted conversation about women who do the most.

(An “unscripted” conversation is one with no holds barred. We just tell it like it ti-IS!)

The Urban Dictionary describes “doing the most” as:

“When a person is doing too much or when a person is doing more than what the situation calls for or beyond the call of duty.”

In other words, women who are on #TeamTooMuch.

We cover 4 important factors a woman Dating With Purpose should avoid at all costs.

Please don’t be one of those women who are doing the most.

Please.

Attraction To Black Women: Fetish or Preference?

July 8, 2017 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 5 Comments

“Oh, it’s just a fetish.”

“He doesn’t really like her for her; he just wants to fulfill a fantasy.”

A White Man’s Attraction to Black Women: Fetish or Preference?

SIGH.

Let a non-Black man express his attraction to or, God forbid, preference for Black women. Someway, somehow this nasty little word pops up:

Fetish.

I’ve heard the word fetish so many times in connection with Back women, I wish I’d been given $5 every times my eyes or ears were assaulted by the term.

If a non-Black man is attracted to or prefers Black women, why does the word “fetish” always pop up?

Reading is Fundamental

In other words, know what in the world you’re talking about before you use certain words. Doing so usually involves knowing what words mean.

That means taking the time to look words up so you can know the true definition of the word.

Fetish – or Wrong Motives?

Can a non-Black man have the wrong motives for wanting to become involved with a Black woman? Can he possibly have a desire to fulfill some “I wanna sleep with a Black woman fantasy?”

Of course he can!

But what he has isn’t a fetish – what he has are wrong motives. And guess what? Wrong motives are something any man can have.

He can also be racist. That’s why it’s important to learn how to vet, and vet properly.

In this podcast episode, I define the meaning of the word fetish. I also debunk some of the misconceptions and myths.

Celebrating Loving Day 2017 with Williesha Morris!

June 1, 2017 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Countdown to the 50th Anniversary of Loving v Virginia!

Our friend Williesha Morris is no stranger to Loving Day. Held each year on June 12, the observance commemorates the landmark Supreme Court decision in Loving v the State of Virginia.

In this iconic case, Richard Loving and Mildred Jeter Loving won the right to remain married. Their love and commitment to one another helped pave the way for IR couples across the United States.

Celebrate with Williesha and Jason

For the past four years, interracially married couple Williesha and Jason have hosted a Loving Day celebration in Birmingham, AL.

Alabama was the last state to remove the IR marriage ban from their law books. Lawmakers didn’t remove it until the year 2000!

Happily for us, 2017 marks the 50^th year celebration of the successful outcome of the Loving case.

In today’s podcast episode, Williesha provides details about her now-5^th year sponsoring a Birmingham Loving Day celebration.

So, Are You A Desperado for Love?

May 22, 2017 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Desperado is defined in the Oxford online dictionary as a desperate or reckless person, especially a criminal.

Discussing the origin of the word, we learn “Both desperate and desperado originally denoted a person in despair or in a desperate situation, hence someone made reckless by despair.”

We normally associate this word with someone who is a criminal, but think about it:

A desperado is “someone made reckless by despair.”

A Desperado For Love?
