On this episode they discuss:
- Fried chicken and Brian McKnight starting a love story;
- The black experience at a fake HBCU in a PWI;

Watch this interview on YouTube: https://youtu.be/FWvsJYxP6sU
Bio:
Jenn is a queer, Black feminist from Oakland. Daren is an asexual nerd and novelist from Southern California. Together, they are thirty-somethings who have been married since for over a decade and the couple behind the That Black Couple podcast. This is an accidentally funny podcast covering the absurdity that is navigating life as 30-something Black married millennials whose “American Dreams” look more like an episode of “Living Single” than a Taylor Swift music video.
Their goal is to create a space for Black millennials to discuss and embody doing adulting differently. We're all just trying to figure this ish out, but they believe that not being beholden to “traditional” gender or parenting roles, allowing queerness to be fluid and present in the ways they show up in their relationships and in the world, and built-in community with other 30-something Black folx is the way to make it through.

Kimmie Reed, affectionately known as the Relationship Motivator is on a mission to help people see the self-destructive patterns they are creating in their love life so that they can attract the ideal partner…and keep them.
Kimmie is the author of three books. “Get Your Woman - Keep Your Man, Marriage is Easy-People are Hard, & The Kaleidoscope of Kimetry. Divorced THREE Times - Married Once, which will be her 4th book is digging deep into what led to three failed marriages & her current 22 year relationship with her husband of 19 years.
Kimmie decided to take her love for relationship motivation to TikTok on Feb 28th 2021 where her main focus has been on the hearts of men. Showing men that their feelings, needs and desires matter & giving them a safe place to be vulnerable.
Kimmie’s love for sharing body and skincare tips with women has also played a huge role in her growing following due to her Beauty Shouldn’t Be A Secret series! She believes that there is enough health, wellness and beauty for everyone! She’s single handily emailed thousands of women and hundreds of men DIY recipes for hair, & skin and list of supplements that have helped her maintain health and wellness. She’s not shy about putting her age out there either. At age 56, she understands that every year is a blessing so it’s crazy to stress about age when she should be enjoying it. Kimmie’s following quickly grew to nearly 300K in a 7 1/2 month period due to several viral TikToks, which have been shared all over Instagram and Facebook as well.
Kimmie is often joined by her husband James in her Relationship Motivation group sessions, varies speaking engagements and podcast. She calls James her “secret weapon” & if you’ve ever seen them together you’ve seen why.

- Raising daughters as a single father;
- The current dating scene for a single parent;
- and more!
Watch this episode's interview on Youtube: https://youtu.be/LWD5WTdYEVo
Bio: My name is Jamaal and I am the proud father for two little girls who live with me full time, Ayanna and Amanyi. I've been a single full time father since 2012. I started a blog because a couple of years ago, I went online to find other stories of Black men who raise their kids full time as single parents. And... ...I found zip. Zero. Nothing. Surely, there were other men out there like me who raise their kids full time. We all know the stereotypes of Black men as fathers. And this can be no further from the truth. So, I started my blog to tell my stories. And in the couple years that I've been writing these blogs, I've found that my experiences are just like the single parent experiences of everyone else.
