black relationships

From MySpace to power couple, Chris and Mattie James have been rocking with each other since the early digital age, but they weren't always in each other's Top 8. While the two started off just as friends, they quickly found themselves as something more, and when a prophet foresaw their marriage, Chris knew it was time to propose. However, after a miscarriage, to having a child, and battling the dynamics of depression in a relationship, the communication and foundation was no longer there and the two separated. What brought these two back together? In an amazing story of love, faith and family, this 2018 interview with Chris and Mattie shares the gamut of the highs and lows that come with building a life together and is a true testament to Black Love.

Felicia did not make it to the gym today. She was dressed for the gym. She had planned on going to the gym, was ready will and able, but it didn't happen. She did, however, make it to the store. It was while she at the store she had a chance run in with a man who she had never met. It was through conversation with him, that she found out that they shared something in common: the loss of a daughter. 

Through this conversation, Felicia realizes how much healing comes from speaking about Kamaiu, and Karega helps frame the experience through his experiences of loss and healing.

It all started in an acting class in the late 90s. Kristen and Bill always ran in the same circles, but they never really talked. However the moment that changed, both of their lives changed forever. How does that spark evolve from a chance meeting to a 19 year marriage with two children? In this 2020 interview, Kristen & Bill Bellamy discuss how they both knew that their friendship felt like something more, what it's like trying to navigate a relationship when there are careers involved, and what the couple thinks about the term "SUBMISSION". Plus what does the family unit look like when both parents are following their dreams? Get ready to take notes, because Bill and Kristen have some tips to keep us all sane!

Oftentimes, we find ourselves trying to piece together the pieces of ourselves. These pieces become more apparent when we see them reflected back at us through our children. Today, Felicia has her Mommy sitting in with her in reflection of not only her journey as a mother, but in parenting. How do all these pieces fall together, and what does the journey look like from the perspective of the person who gave you life? What do you see now that you are dealing with the tiny reflection of yourself? It is a beautiful conversation of gratitude, perseverance, and hope.

Grief can manifest itself in a many ways, especially when someone is taken from us too soon. Today, Karega and Felicia discuss how they spent their weekend with mothers who have lost their children too soon. What they discovered is that these strong black women, who have experienced such tragedies, still find a reason to be joyous even though they carry such pain everyday. Karega speaks on how he is in awe of these mothers, including his very own wife, because of the strength they have shown through so much adversity. He realizes that grief doesn't only have to be a weight around your neck, but can also be the very thing that saves you.

We all know that nothing lasts forever but, for a 2 year old like Kamali, you have nothing but time. Today Karega and Felicia discuss their recent trip with Kamali to Atlanta to visit close friends. While traveling, Karega experienced a series of moments  with Kamali that caused him to reflect on  the fact that even though Kamaili is only two, there are things, as she gets older and matures, that she won't ask him or Felicia to do any more. The great thing about Kamali, even though she is growing everyday, she always finds ways to bring Karega and Felicia in the present to remind them that while time doesn't stop, being present in the moment allows them to appreciate those times before they are gone.

The heavy rainy season has Karega thinking about seasons, restarts, harvests and what growth should look like. To go even deeper, what he thought his growth should look like after everything he went through. Seeds and fruit and even the trees have shown him that growth does not look the same and neither does our growth. Especially our growth through grief. Having patience for ourselves is key as we do not all grow the same way.

Kamali celebrated her second birthday last week (!) and while there was much to celebrate, there was also a period of reflection. Felicia and Karega take a moment to discuss the parallels between  those who came through for them in this period of celebration and those who were there for them during their period of grief. Perhaps just as important, how different it is to be in this specific moment with a child earthside versus being parents of a child in heaven.

Having a toddler is hard, and Kamali is not as respectful to the needs of rest as one would expect of a two year old. You might know this about Felicia, but she loves her sleep. Like, it is a high priority. And there is no room for reframing things when there is no rest!

However, there is more to this situation than Kamali being a toddler and the lack of sleep. It is about what we had planned, especially through our grief journey. The vision for our lives, the lives we had planned for ourselves, did not come to fruition. Sometimes the reframe is hard when you're thinking about the what ifs.

Karega has released his new project Legacy Lounge Season 1 "Legacy Talk Only"   into the universe and reflects on what it means on not only what it means to be an artist, but on what it means to use music and rap/ hip-hop as a way of processing his grief. Specifically, as one has to navigate the grind of promoting and selling this art and legacy project which means more than just a commodity. Is there a way to find balance in trying to build something greater than the machine of promotion and follows and likes especially with something so important to the whole family unit?

Felicia needs to make a change in her life. One that, on the surface level, is simple. She needs to cut her hair. Now, as Karega will tell you (and show you) Felicia has rocked every style under the sun. However, in this moment the impending change is different. As Felicia sits with it, she realizes that even something that she has done dozens of times before, now has a new association with it, and it ties into grief and Kamaiu. As grief is ever changing and evolving, Felicia and Karega reflect on how this moment is very much part of the experience of grief and just how the personal and individual each person's process is.

In their journey of grief, Karega and Felicia have each have had their own very individual processes in how they feel in sharing Kamaiu's story. Their truths vary as their experiences have varied. As the couple vulnerably shares, this ain't fair. None of it is fair and in all reality, no one would choose this path over having their loved one. Grief is wild that way. However, that is why Karega and Felicia create these tools of reference AND why the reframe is so important even for themselves; because it is easy to fall into the trap of the what ifs and the not fairs as opposed to the living in the now.

"What is present may not always be visible in the moment. At the right moment it will be seen. Its relevance requires its process and cannot be rushed."

SOL Affirmations was (once again) nominated for an Ambie award which this time took them to Vegas. While in reflection, Karega and Felicia note how all of this, the podcast and the stories that they share in it, start with Kamaiu and the story that they never wanted to tell. Felicia never wanted anything to come from the loss of her first daughter, and yet through her sharing her story, the story of being Kamaiu's mother, they have created so much space for reference and for community, and how others in this podcasting community have lifted them up and made space for them.
