  • Interracial couples trigger others who are often unaware of their own biases. Sekou Lewis and Mattie Steger are no strangers to judgmental stares by onlookers. As they approach their wedding date, June 25, 2022, they transparently share their love story. It will truly challenge viewers on, “The Color of Love.”

    Dear black men- when you date outside your race, do so with love and without insulting and degrading black women. I think this is a lovely couple and I'm happy that he has the foresight and self love to find a woman that works for him without being disrespectful to the women who look like his mother. I wish this couple all the happiness, and love in the world.

    First thing: I rock with them. Their relationship is built on a foundation of mutual love, respect, transparency, and honesty with themselves, one another, and God. It doesn’t get much better than that. I LOVE that they decided to have hard conversations early. It has set a precedent in their relationship. From now on it will be their “ normal “.
    Second thing: I have ALWAYS wanted a Black man, but in my forties I opened my mind to men of other ethnicities.
    I told God: I really want a Black man, but if You have a man of another color for me, I’m open, and I would never want to block my blessing. That’s been a few years ago. Still single.😆😆😆😆. But I’m open to the Husband God has for me regardless of his ethnicity.

    The question is.. "How does his marriage effect your life?"
    I think black women get upset because they feel rejected. But that man or any man's choice has absolutely nothing to do with you or your worth as a woman, especially as a black woman

    I love how transparent Laterras is because I was triggered when I saw the couple but because I am open minded and don’t judge I decided to watch and so far so good. Although I do love to see black families being built up. I can appreciate how he talked about his nieces and him not tearing one race of woman down to build another up.
    Congratulations to them and may God bless their union 💕

  • @tasheema
    @tasheema Před rokem +133

    When I first seen who was apart of this interview I was triggered. They really seem like a lovely couple and I'm happy they have found love as that is something I dream of having one day. With that said I was triggered because I'm an educated successful black woman most likely in similar social circles as Sekou yet I don't have access to men like Sekou. Its also triggering because as a black woman I am expected to provide child rearing support when the men in my life that partner with non black women realize the cultural gaps that impact their children. If I decline I am seen as bitter so I must smile and teach their wives how to cook, comb hair, and reinforce the beauty of their children when the white community rejects them...Its a lot which makes it very hard for me not to be triggered when I see couples like this.

      I can totally empathize by how you could be triggered however in your statement you said you do not have access to men like Sekou. That is not true what you speak into the world will be reflected back at you. So speak the man you want into the universe your spirit and God and he will definitely show up. Manifest this man and call him into your life. Positivity is the key, focus on your great thoughts about beautiful you. A guy with the great attributes of a Sekou can and will be yours!!

      This couple seems genuine so I wish them nothing but the best. However, I agree with this statement and appreciate your transparency. I am an accomplished woman myself and I too was triggered . Black men of this caliber typically don’t date within their race, and there’s a number of reasons why. The “stares” aren’t from jealously or bitterness, it’s a feeling of resentment and betrayal. Black women have been in the front lines supporting our men, even when they’ve turned their back on us it seems. We are the reason justice was served for George Floyd, and laws were passed for Breonna Taylor. Our “attitude” , strength and perseverance plays an integral role in the legacy of a black man. You’re right, black women will be the ones coaching her on how to care for her black child's hair, and how to cook for her man, but will reap no reward from it. We are tired of being used and left with nothing. Black women deserve more access to happy and healthy relationships.

    • @gracea2893
      @gracea2893 Před rokem +19

      I emphatize in the fact that maybe you are not aware of who God is. So, I can understand why you speak that. Whether this man or woman was white, black, Hispanic etc, they explained that they did the work it required for them to meet. He explained that he loves her dearly because of her love for Christ. Don't try to validate yourself by your success, or what you have acquired because to have a successful marriage, God has to be the one leading you.

  • @gailkennedy5727
    @gailkennedy5727 Před rokem +20

    Thank you for this episode! I went from being triggered to being delivered…Seeing black men with non-black women almost always feels like rejection mostly because of the narrative that usually comes along with it. I also feel that the rejection is felt deeper because some black women only see themselves with black men. If a black woman is herself open to diversity in dating, the sting of the rejection may be reduced. With all that said, I felt so cared for by Sekou when he spoke of his concern over how his nieces and the other women in his family would interpret his relationship. I felt so much love in this episode and am hopeful that I too will find love like Sekou and Mattie! Praying for you both and I will let love light the way🙏🏾💜…

    First off she’s absolutely beautiful( can’t skate pass that ), secondly before I watched this episode for whatever reason I was having thoughts of dating outside my race . And I wondered how would I be perceived by everyone else bc to know me is know that I love black ✊🏿 ! I also don’t want to miss out on the love of my life bc of skin color . So it was interesting to see this episode, makes me wonder now if God is opening me up to something new , bc I literally was having some random thoughts about dating outside my race & then this episode pops up in my feed . As usual great host & guest,
    & I wish them much success in their journey together 🙏🏽

Thank you for sharing your journey and opening my eyes to the reality that love and pride in an interracial relationship can co-exist.

    With these relationships, I tend to find the black Men especially, not liking who they are or thinking white is better, or wanting to go through the white door of opportunity (yes I have a lot of men friends and I'm married to a confident Black Man). My major concern is seeing the wealth transferred back into the white community. My professional soccer player friends told me, once they are traveling all that is presented to them are white women, other ethnicity and no black women, because these basketball , football industry, work with agencies that send these women to events, before they even reached their hotel or even know were they are staying. The Lord showed me my Nephew was dating a mix lady, before he even told me, bwoy the Lord warned me in that dream, so I had to hold a compassionate heart towards this situation. However these things are deeper than us. Once you have money, these women will hardly leave, lets be honest.

I don't look at my white aunt, uncles, or cousins any differently than my Native American, or African American family members. Nor my mixed race niece and nephews because my brother loved and supported their mothers. My family means so much to me. This helped me to see love as my great grandparents saw each other. What a marvelous heritage. ❤💜 Truly love has no color. Blessings to this couple and their union.

      Her walking around as a pretty blond white woman affords her an experience black women will never have. If you’re going to open this conversation we have to have it genuinely. White privilege is a thing and black women generally have more challenges and obstacles as white women that shapes most of us differently. Heck seeing “our” men often choosing someone like her over someone like us is something we have to process and work through. If nothing else I know she has and will never deal with that…

There is a big cultural difference between the two. I think that’s why I struggle to get along with them because we have different interest.

    I have absolutely no problem with black men choosing other races of women. I don’t think they owe black women anything nor vice versa ( ie black women should reconsider their loyalty). But I do have a problem with them being disingenuous with black women. I would have been fine if he said he chose a white woman and saw no issue with doing so - the implications never crossed his mind. But to acknowledge that he knew full well that his decision would, unfortunately, have an impact and contribute to one of the problems plaguing the black community, yet he chose her anyway perturbs me. That means he either deliberately foresaked black women for her (based him admitting that he understood the impact), or the story of his nieces and aunts and such is just something he made up after the fact to avoid being labeled. This is why black women stay on the hook. I wish black men would just come out and say whom they prefer so that black women can move on and stop looking crazy out here. He chose that white woman because that’s what he prefers. He should just say that (if anything) and keep that story about and the black women in his life who he apparently didn’t admire enough to want to build a family with someone like them. Sistas are out here devoting their lives to finding a “good black man” who for all her loyalty will fight his inner turmoil to the death to be with a white woman over a black woman. And, I think the only way black women will feel released from what they think is their assignment is if black men stop dangling the carrot if you have no intent to feed a black woman.

      @@tbcreloaded7529 I don’t need to know him. I know what he said and I reacted to that. In any case, my comment is less about him and more about this behavior and how I believe black women need to take heed and move accordingly. I don’t know what you mean about reactions on another video. But to be clear about my reaction, I don’t care about who bm choose. What I care about is black women’s image. My problem is that the world sees that bm have no devotion to black women (evident by their actions) but bw fail to accept that truth because some bm string bw along. Bw are out here looking like we’re desperate and have no standards. That’s partially our fault for not loving ourselves more (I’m not in that category but I am a bw I’ll lump myself in). But it’s also bm fault for taking advantage. If bm prefer white and Hispanic women, great. Stop using bw for sex, stop making them single mothers, stop giving them stds, stop using them for a come up then dumping them when you make it. Stop pretending. Unfortunately, I know it’s not going to stop. People are going to get over if they can. So, I want black women to really listen when men like this speak. I want bw to get some standards and require reciprocity. I don’t think bw should give bm the time of day unless and until bm desire and devotion to loving (not just sleeping with) bw is strong enough for them to resist pretty blonds.

    This is powerful. Kudos to her, for her honesty about her reactions within those tough conversations. I think in this day and age, we feel as if we have to pretend and process tough and difficult unprecedented situations immediately. Respond perfectly immediately. I love the fact that she allowed herself to be honest in not knowing, and that he was patient as she figured out her response as well. She wasn’t posing, and he gave so much grace as she navigated such a huge life reality for him. I appreciated their honesty and transparency!

    Unpopular opinion: it literally hurts heart when black men say, “she brings me peace” when dating/marrying non-black women. Of course she brings you peace.
    She’s not a black woman whom was raped by a slave master and bare his offspring; worked 2-3 jobs to feed her kids because the deadbeat dad left her; called ugly because of the color of her skin(too dark); whom life doesn’t matter in white America; have to pray everyday that your black son/daughter don’t get shoot by a cop; and looked down own by a black men. So of course a non-white woman bring black men peace. They use black women up until they become successful then go give it to a WHITE soul cyclist instructor🤦🏾‍♀️ I could careless that a black man chase non-black women. But let’s be honest! Those same women wouldn’t dare want you if you didn’t have a penny to offer. I’m just thankful that my husband’s parents taught him to love on black women. Cherish them because the world hates them. I’m thankful because I have a black husband that supports and believe in black love. Oh! And he definitely finds peace in me as I find peace in him…

    Enjoyed watching, different topic about ❤. I believe most of the time relationships start with attraction, respect, honesty n admiration for the other but when you embrace your own spiritual nature n your partner is willing as well, you both experience spiritual worship.. I also believe when you love,, physical, human n divine, it can truly be amazing. Great conversation n thank you for sharing your journey of love. God bless your parents n entire family members who have contributed in natruing you both. Both colours are beautiful, love has no colour. We are all God's creation..I like the words, Don't let doubt take away your blessings. Thank you n wish you well in life.

    You see why we needed you Sir. I for one have not seen this. Wow! This was real. Mostly we hear she married him for money or he married her to feel important. This couple just changed it. Thank you for showing us Mr Host! He really loves her and she's smitten.
    #Love has no colour. Clearly.
    I was not even dating this friend of mine. We just went everywhere together and we would sit in restaurants and not get waited on. Because he was with a black girl. So it's really hard what you guys have to overcome. All the best🙏🏾💖

    I liked that Mattie brought up peace for women as well. I mostly hear men say they want peace and yet they don't ask themselves if they bring peace as well.
    I think because they chose each other when they had peace in their own lives, they were able to choose well. Cute couple.

  • @nicoleprice354
    @nicoleprice354 Před rokem +1

    Throughout this interview I heard words like vulnerability, transparency, brave, risk, truth, within my self, affirmation, and confirmation....and as they spoke, the volume of their love for one another got higher and higher.
    When you are blessed to experience love God's way, it supercedes color and expresses the beauty God designed it to be.
    Such a beautiful, refreshing couple, congratulations!!!!
