#133| The Same Direction

May 13, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.

~Antoine de Saint-Exupery

It’s hard for two or more people to accomplish a goal without reaching an agreement about the direction to move in and steps required for achieving the goal.

How much more important is it to share a sense of direction when successfully maintaining a personal or business relationship?

It’s not hard to agree on the end goal: success. Getting there is so much easier if we’re looking in the same direction.

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?
