Mike and I met at our beloved HBCU Tennessee State our freshman year.
-
We were both the artists on campus so people
put us together way before we did so ourselves. We wrote and performed a song together that year, just as friends, called “Can’t Let Go”. When I think about the lyrics it’s kinda eerie almost like we we wrote it from the future, and we felt so much in both creating and performing it that we both left the stage feeling like “wtf, are we soulmates or something” 😂
-
We, years later, explored that possibility. And like most college couples, we’ve explored it amidst pursuing dreams that have placed us in different locations, and all the challenges that come along with being too young and underdeveloped and immature to be so damn deeply committed.
-
But here we are, several years, songs and stages later-still cities apart but more in sync than ever. We’re both mostly quiet about us. Neither of us are mushy gushy or massive fans of PDA, but I’m a lil bit over that. Because just like those freshman year moments over music that brought us together, who we are deserves volume & sound, and because I understand finally that if you want to go fast- go alone, but if you want to go far- go together.

We go together.
