Their megawatt smiles say it ALL.

This is what happens when you choose character and compatibility over superficial factors that are limiting and keep you boxed in.

Want a beautiful life? Expand your dating and marriage options – and keep an open mind!

#23 | The Safety And Joy Of Love

January 23, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

shareasimageLaviniaAndJay

Yesterday our fellow podcaster Lavinia celebrated 10 years of matrimony with her husband Jay, the love of her life.

Her sweet words to him:

Swirling winds and inches, then feet of snow fell around the little church where we stood together and promised to love, honor and cherish each from that day forward. And for 10 years, when the rest of the world around us is crazy and hateful, we continue to find safety and joy in each other’s arms and love. Happy Anniversary, Jay.

For all the scoffers and naysayers who would try to dissuade Black women from expanding their dating and marriage options to find love and longevity in their relationships, please have a seat.

Happy Anniversary, Lavinia and Jay!

#12 | Relationships Are What We DO

January 12, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

shareasimage_JamieAndJuJuF12

Today’s quote specifically mentions marriage, yet we believe the concept is applicable to any relationship:

Friendship is not a noun; it’s a verb. It isn’t something you get. It’s something you do.

Sisterhood is not a noun; it’s a verb. It isn’t something you get. It’s something you do.

Partnership is not a noun; it’s a verb. It isn’t something you get. It’s something you do.

Relationships: It’s what we do!

Podcast 052: The Power Of Black Women’s Preferences–And Images

January 10, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

shareasimageSepia

So, at the end of 2014 in Podcast Episode 049 we gave you a sneak peek into a podcast with Sepia, author of multicultural and multiracial erotic romance.

Sepia just released a new book entitled Prescriptions For the Soul: 100+ Dosages of Daily Wisdom, available for immediate download on Kindle (if you want a paperback copy email her at one of the addresses provided below). Prescriptions is published under her pen name, B.B. Fortune.

Prescriptions For The Soul

Sepia has several interracial romance novellas scheduled for release in the Coffee and Cream series in 2015. They will be followed with another series of novellas called Green Tea and Chocolate specializing in interracial romance between Black women and Asian men.

We discussed the power of Black women exerting their personal preference for the race or ethnicity of the men they want to date and marry. Who are these people who believe they have to right to dictate Black women’s choices?? Pfffft!

We also branched into a conversation about the power derived from seeing positive images of Black women being celebrated and loved. We appreciate seeing the visual forms, and salute those who positively portray Black women in books, blog posts and articles.

Sepia is brilliant, funny and passionate about Black women living well. What a wonderful conversation!

(If you can’t see the podcast player, click here or here).

To listen on Sound Cloud, click here.

shareasimage_SexyIRCouple3Sepia is a huge supporter of interracial/multicultural romance erotica. Being the product of a multicultural marriage she understands that love is not always black and white (no pun intended!) but that people need and want love and sometimes that takes them across cultural and racial lines.

Coming from a family of Griots (storytellers) her desire is to entertain her readers with humor, wit and lots of love woven into her stories.

A native of New York, Sepia currently resides in Southern California. Her passion is to uplift and encourage others through her writing, teaching and speaking.

Contact Sepia by emailing her at irromancebysepia@gmail.com.
