003. Finding Love After Divorce: Black Man + White Woman + Five Kids = One Wild Ride
In this episode, we’re sharing our love story—how two single parents from completely different backgrounds met at one of the most diverse churches in Denver, fell in love, and started blending a family of SEVEN.
Yeah. Talk about a wild ride!
We’re talking about the early days of dating, the honest conversations we had about race, parenting, and our past trauma, and the intentional steps we took to build trust with each other and with our kids. We’ve been blending for five years now, and while it has not been easy OR perfect, it has been deeply meaningful. We are an interracial, ministry-minded, entrepreneurial family who try to keep it real—and we hope you can learn something from hearing about our journey.
Key Takeaways:
✅ Blended families are built on trust, honesty, and shared values.
✅ Interracial couples must have open conversations—early and often.
✅ Dating as a single parent is a package deal—your kids matter.
✅ You don’t have to choose between your spouse and your kids. It’s Both/And.
✅ Your past marriage wasn’t a waste—you carry wisdom into what’s next.
✅ Divorce doesn’t disqualify you from love or building a legacy.
✅ God is still writing your story—and it might be better than you imagined.
Second marriages are not second-class. We’re building something beautiful together and we're so grateful!
