Show notes

When Bobby and Danelle first met in 1984 they both were smitten with each other. Even though they were both only 19, they knew that the love they shared was something special. However, their relationship would come to a screeching halt when Bobby's father found out that his son, a white man, was dating a Black woman. Soon after that, Bobby and Danelle separated despite them both still very much in love with the other. In this 2017 interview for the second season of Black Love Doc, Bobby and Danelle share not only how they coped, but how after 27 years (and the help of social media) they eventually found their way back to each other.

Melissa & Allessandra Bradley-Burns Jun 11, 2021

Show notes

When Melissa and Allessandra first met at Georgetown, they didn't care for each other. Little did they know that their paths were destined to cross again. Years later Allessandra and Melissa would find themselves working for the same non-profit and 6 hours plus 175 questions would (unbeknownst to them) be the beginning of their relationship. From the adjustments that come with being a blended family, to navigating the world (and its legalities) as a same-sex couple, this couple has been through a whirlwind. Through it all they have found a way to continuously support each other and reaffirm that they are "all in".
