Its crazy seeing Josh and Isi's growth these past 5 years!!! Its nice to see them getting more recognition on CZcams now! Definitely one of the few real CZcams couple content creators🤩
YES! Even though I sometimes disagree about what they’re saying, but I really love that for them!! I smiled when I saw the thumbnail, MashaAllah!!
no literally !!
Yes it is crazy and I'm very proud of them
❤️🔥
And that’s on 🅿️
The clear, concise communication throughout their relationship is admirable.
I can hear their story a million times and it still makes me smile and blush
Same, their love and respect for each other is so loud and beautiful🙂
fr fr!!
"at that moment I realized you liked me but you didn't fully trust me yet" wowww you beautifully articulated the words I needed to hear.
If “he that finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord”, was a couple, this is that!!! Periodddd
Yes. She’s clearly the catch lol
@@ashleirabesspetion5279 josh is praising her here as he should but he is Quality too and has always been great to her and to her mom
Amennnn
Not me already knowing their story like it's my own love story and watching their year-by-year relationship rundowns on their channels over the years, and listening intently anyways LOL. Love them
we are one in the same bc I listen as if I NEVERRRRR heard the story 😂🤎
Samee 🤣🤣😭
Same 😂😂😂 I'm subscribed to them as well but I just had to listen to their story again
I love that he was honest about his Smidge of jealousy. A lot of people can turn that into resentment instead of being honest about a real emotion. My partner and I have talks like this and I rarely see couples that do the same on social media. Very refreshing
Exactly, you just have to put your ego to the side for the greater good of your relationship. That’s something that I learned from Josh and Isi, and I will definitely carry it into my future relationships (including platonic ones).
Already knew the story but clicked on this so fast anyway. JOSH AND ISI, I’M SOOOO PROUD OF Y’ALL!!! You guys have come so far from your beginnings and to see you guys get the recognition you deserve makes me so happy. Here’s to a quality 2022.
#QualityCrew
Yes! I was so excited to see the thumbnail! It’s soo exciting to see their growth throughout the years! #QualityCrew
YESSSSS #QualityCrew
Me toooo 🥺
Not josh leaving out that he stole the gold heart necklace
😂 you a OG fr I almost forgot
Shhh we don't talk about this😭😭
lol dkm 😭 no need to air him out like that
Yes 😂😂
How did he steal ? From a shop ??
Love how Josh professes his love and how Isi so easily receives and returns it.
Isi looks STUNNING 😍 Also, loving the neutral, chocolate tones they chose. And the fact this is THEIR APARTMENT? Not a set?? So happy for them 🖤
Rare to see a young couple that has been together for so long on what looks like a genuine foundation of friendship. Many blessings and best wishes for their union!
This is the kind of love I want to wait for. I’ll wait my whole life if I have to, to experience being in love like that
THIS 👏🏽✨♥️
@@tondaniraluswinga2590 I’m 23 and I feel the same way. Man I wish I had love like this. The love is real right there. It’s hard these days to find someone even online plus covid is here
Realistically, it's not going to happen for everyone. Just never get desperate and remember that the love you have for yourself will always win over everything.
@@soleil4124 I agree, this isn't going to happen for everyone, but if you're one of the lucky ones please cherish it and realize how thankful you are. I'm 27 and haven't even been close to getting something like this. Please don't get desperate like I did, I lost my virginity to a random guy on craigslist because I was so desperate. DONT BE LIKE ME.
That’s the thing people forget about them. They worked HARD to get where they are cause they were actually willing to put in the work. Nowadays people get into relationships, they see one thing they don’t like boum! Breakup and that’s very sad.
I'm here laughing and giggling like I haven't heard this story already😂😂 Josh and Isi I love you guys! Super proud of y'all😊❤❤❤
Same 😂😂
I love the growth they've experienced being together. They have grown individually and collective from having the other person in their life. This is what should happen in ALL relationships, not just romantic.
Yh they have. I 1st loved Isi for her natural hair journey ➿➿ then came Josh. Great couple.😍
All i can say issi is a beautiful woman a good example of class. Josh loves her unconditionally raised by a strong woman and thats why he treats issi like gold. They are going places higher with such success and prosperity. God has great things in store for these two!!
I can only imagine the lengths they’ll scale together as a married couple. Big tings!!
Very big!
Right!! Man, they are SOOOOO blessed to have found each other. Man I wish I was the lucky
They built this relationship. From friendship to commitment in deed. Wow.
This is a beautiful testament to why having the right partner and/or connections in your life is SO IMPORTANT.
I’m so glad that Josh and Isi are becoming mor recognized. They are so humble and I love their story.
Josh- "On a scale of 1-10?"
Isi- "Qualitty✨"
The most elite answer you can give✨ This right here, is black love at it's finest. ❤️
#QualittyQrew #beautegang
Can't believe josh and isi gotta spot in this. Congrats you guys and the growth you're gaining
The fact that he admitted he was jealous of her means that he overcame that through love and I think that’s beautiful honestly to openly express how he felt ❤️
They give me such 90's love vibes. That real, authentic, raw, classical love.
Hey God, its me again...
I saw this and immediately forgot about everything else. I was smiling the whole time I was watching this because it feels like you’re watching a friend or somebody you look up to achieve soo much and you’re so overwhelmed with happiness for them. I love Josh and Isi and what they show and teach my generation and many other generations.
I swear, he looks at her like he wants to DEVOUR her! So beautiful to see. ♥️
Thissss!!!!!
That Nigerian hustle spirit in Isi really came through. As long as you can keep up, Nigerian people are blessings in anyone's life. Congrats to them
So true! I was in Africa for a few months & had some Nigerians around my age as neighbors. They taught me many lessons. Don’t worry, don’t stress, work very hard & what will be will be!
Yessss I love this couple!!! We need more examples of HEALTHY qualityyyyy Black love ❤️
At this point, BW just need to expand their options and look for healthy love. BM -- especially darker-skinned ones -- aren't trying to get with BW that reflect their own image. They are self-hating. They don't even treat the non-black women they are constantly promoting over BW well.
@@chocolateangel8743 I hear you but the point was promoting healthy love for black people not dividing them into gender and color and when we do continually promote a healthy example then may be as people heal you will have more people proving the opposite of what you said
@@aspirehigher6368 if 'black love' was a commonality, bw wouldn't be crying for examples of it. I hope and pray that a majority will get your head of the sand of delusions they're buried in and face reality.
@@pagethreemodel black love is very common we're just talking about sharing healthier examples of what it looks like. And again, no need to be divisive I mean do you really think there aren't as many men who are seeking better examples than what's been shown in popular media and general society? The good rarely brings attention. Bur it truly has always existed...or we wouldn't even still be here
@@aspirehigher6368 so healthy black love isn't commonplace? To the point where bw have to beg for healthy black representation in the media instead of replicating it in their everyday lives? Thanks for proving my point.
I’m very thankful for Josh and Isi because they taught me the true importance of communication in both romantic and platonic relationships. I used to normalize biting my tongue and holding things back in order to avoid stepping on people’s toes, but (contrary to my old beliefs) that’s toxic. When you let things slide you’re doing yourself a disservice, as well as your partner because you’re secretly building resentment towards them for something that could’ve been corrected if you just simply communicated how you felt.
I’m 19, and I haven’t experienced romantic relationships yet, but I’m glad that I have insight on what a healthy relationship consists of for when I do start dating.
Thank you Josh and Isi!
#QualityCrew4Liferrrrs ❤️
This series is so cute . I’m tired of seeing this “ I want a toxic man” or “toxic woman”
Trend where ppl glorify and relationships
They communicate so well, the way they look at each other, they’re a beautiful couple 😭❤️
I remember watching their videos when Isi first started CZcams, I’m so proud to see how far they’ve come. I’ve never been into CZcams couples but they’ve always been an exception for me. Glad they’re finally getting the recognition they deserve!
Congratulations Josh and Isi! I have been married for 18 years, and seeing how the both of you communicate will make for a long lasting marriage. I also met my husband in college, being friends is so important. You both have built a strong foundation. I love black love. Congratulations again!
Oh wow!! You are sooooo lucky and blessed. I’m 23 and I wish I was smart enough to find my bf/husband when I was in college. It’s hard in these streets lol
This is so beautiful to see. Josh and Isi have come such a long way and I'm here for the growth along the way.
Their communication is amazing and that's why they work so well. I love to see it
My favs! I love how gentle and in tuned they are with themselves AND their relationship.
The way how these viewers got the quick storytime of their relationship while the ppl who been watching josh and isi for a minute had to wait every week waiting for the next video of their relationship series each week is unfair😭😭
But we got the DEEETS can't get that in a quick video 😂0
The video is so healthy. I would love to have that level of understanding with my future partner
Their love for each other is SO refreshing!! No superficial crap, all realness and QUALITYYY 💕 They show me how real love should be/feel like.
I really love how Josh asked for help when he needed it. At that point, you abandon your pride and that can be a really hard thing to do.
I am so happy to see Josh & Isi getting more recognition. Love them!
the way im on the verge of tears. why is this the first healthy relationship ive ever seen in mylife
Honestly, this wasn’t long enough. I have been watching them for years. I love the rawness
*We love to see it. Black Love is real and it is beautiful.*
Real & rare.
The way Josh speaks about Isi is so beautiful !!! #Blacklove
These two are beautiful beyond belief. They actually communicate on a deep level and have respect for each other and for the quality of their relationship.
Oh my goodness, it’s Josh and Isi; this warmed my heart! I’m so happy for them!💜😊

I love to see it!!…congratulations to the both of them for their individual growth and their growth as a unit! 😍😊
Been following their channels for more than a year.. Love them ♥️
There is so much genuineness in this. 🥺 I’m so obsessed with the connection of two people that brings out love.
Yes! I’ve been a fan of theirs for a few hrs now and am happy to see their love story shared on this platform 🙏🏾
I love love love seeing how far they've come. Always got good vibes from them. Never any of that nonclassy stuff you see nowadays for views with alot of CZcamsrs. They definitely show what a realistic modern black love looks like. I love their honesty of how they had to work on it.
Awe I love them so much! I can tell they have a strong connection. They are supportive and help each other grow! This is the type of qualities I look for in my potential relationship 🥺❤️
my fav youtube/instagram couple!! SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE, GROWTH, INSIGHT ❤️ so much transparency, love themmmm 🙌🏼
Awww, I’ve been following them for a while on CZcams .. I love them! They’re so authentic. Noting is forced with these twos!
Loved hearing their story 😍❤️
Yay!! Never get tired of hearing their love story :) they're both amazing, happy to see them on Refinery29!!
Josh and Isi!!! I love them so much! Been following their journey for years now. Such a beautiful and genuine couple.
I haven't found any couple on you tube who's story sounds this fun and enjoyable to listen too!! I never get tired of it!!
Great words of wisdom Josh, "we have to do what we have to do, in order to do the things we want to do"! So true..... Keep doing the work. ♥️
Josh and Isi you are both an amazing example of grace and strength, patience and clear, beautiful communication and authenticity. I always love hearing this story, much love! Xx
omgggg!!! so so worth the wait! congratulations guys!!! so proud of how far y’all have come ahhh!!!!!
Josh and Isi I’m so happy for y’all. Y’all so genuine
This is beautiful 🥰❤️ been watching them and see them tell their story.. and to see someone else capture it is amazing … peace love and hair grease
I love hearing about their growth (separately and together), trust in each other, HONESTY (with each other and themselves), being smart with money, in additional to the love they have for each and themselves. Congratulations!! You two are starting out right!!!
He seems genuinely and she seems so joyful and graceful. Amazing couple.
GO JOSH AND ISI!! So proud of y’all!
I remember Josh and Isi from their college vlog days… the growth is AMAZING and I’m so proud 😭
this is really inspirational! love and richest blessings to Josh and Isi
I love how this video is as comfortable and transparent as their usual content ❤️
I love them!!! remind me of what God did for me,he sent me a man that was in front of my face for 4 years before I knew he would be my husband. Being freinds first is a must for it to last. And I had to let go of the age barrier to see him and not what everyone else sees. The person you're supposed to marry will always be what you need and almost never what your standards are. Being a independent black woman can have you on a pedestal but you have to humble yourself and see what God wants you to see and what is truly best for you.
This made me cry. Girl you are so lucky to have had that foundation. I don’t even have any guy friends. You are truly blessed!! I wish this best for you both!!
AHHHHHHHHHHH THEY'VE GROWN SO MUCH SO PROUD OF THEM!
I love them. They’re so authentic and genuine. Growth is beautiful❤️
❤️ the way they shared so honestly about real things
I love these two, I remember coming across Isi's YT channel couple years back and seeing Josh and the two of them together, and I have loved them since 😩😩
This is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!
I been watching them on CZcams. Look how far they have grown! Godbless them!
She is sooooo beautiful
Wow!!! Seeing Josh and Isi here just warmed my heart!!! So proud of them☺️
I told my my boyfriend daughter that communication is everything . Me and their dad still working on that lol
I loved this!!
I could listen to this story from these two a million times and still smile as much
Love me some Josh and Isi🤎. Such a beautiful couple with a story I could hear over and over again!
So cute!!!! I absolutely love this video! I wish these two all the best. ❤️❤️❤️
You guys are really quality. I love to see this. Blessings to you both and can't wait to see your journey!!!
This was a great clip! Got me in my feels thinking about my fiancé and I when we first met back in ‘05
I can listen to their love story over and over again and never get tired of hearing it 🥰
My first time looking at this video. I just love both of you. Extremely beautiful to see black love in full force.
Communication in my opinion is extremely important, and I believe you both master that. Much love always. May God always enlarged both of you Territory ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really enjoy the realness. Such raw emotion and actually saying how it was and not playing it off like it was all butterflies and rainbows. A relationship takes work. It's not 50/50 It's 100/100. You put every ounce into it or it will not last. Every relationships have their downs and then their major downs. Lower then low. It's how your partner reacts to it that shows you the truth.
Happy for you guys. Beautiful couple. Keep on keeping on
Just WOW!!! This is beautiful! Black Love and EVOLUTION is so powerful! I /we need so many more stories like this! I love n adore Josh n Isi😍 can’t wait for the New Year of videos!! Happy Healthy New Year!!!! 🙏🏽☮️💟🥰☀️🙏🏽
This is what black love should be but it is not reality.
@It'sFlygemini♊ Tyler yes black love as a whole is not what it’s cracked up to be. Majority of it does not look like this couple, you have been warned
Been following them since the college days! Their growth and success is so amazing to watch. Love seeing their genuine, black love. Forever proud!
Been watching them since the beginning so proud of them both individually and together as a black couple my boyfriend even love watching y’all and it takes a lot to keep his attention and or to watch CZcams
