According to my husband, Young Black MRS was born during our honeymoon in Italy. I don’t remember that. There was a lot of really delicious red wine flowing. I wanted to share my story, my experience in a new marriage. I wanted to share my experience as a Black wife.
I have been surrounded by Black love my whole life. From my grandparents to my parents and extended family, Black love was all around. On September 2, 2018, I became a MRS. I became a wife. I committed to my husband to be his lifelong partner.
To document my first year as a wife, this podcast was born. As I said in the first episode of my podcast, “You don’t have to be young, you don’t have to be Black, you don’t even have to be married. You just have to appreciate the essence.” I mean that. Young Black MRS describes me. No matter what my age, I’ll always be young at heart. I pray to always be his wife and well, I’m always going to be Black, so it was just fitting.
On the podcaust, each episode is broken into segments: Shakin’ My Curls, What You Chewin’, Main Event, and Positive Tip. In Shakin’ My Curls no annoying topic is off-limits. From the silliest of pet peeves to serious topics, this segment taps into conversations. What You Chewin’ documents one of the responsibilities of #wifelife, cooking. I have shifted from a healthy diet to a mostly plant-based diet since the start of the podcast. The Main Event captures interviews from knowledgeable and dope people. I end with a Positive Tip, recapping the show.
This blog is an extension of the podcast. This blog will allow me to be more visual, more in-depth, and more detailed. Young Black MRS is more than a podcast or even a blog really, it’s a lifestyle. (I know I’m going to date myself by saying this but…) Issa vibe! Perhaps marriage is a goal, but there’s so much after the aisle to consider. Where will you live? How will your life look while married? Who cooks? Who cleans? What are you eating? What about kids? What about your friends? Travel? There’s so much to explore as a married woman, I can’t wait to share.
