  • A Personal Journey

    A Personal Journey
    Oct 12 2024
    Welcome to the first episode of 'E Says, P Says', a weekly exploration of Black love from two perspectives. Co-hosts Ellen (E) and Paul (P) embark on a journey, sharing their personal milestone of being married for 35 years, through conversations about their life and lessons discovered on their path. In this episode, Ellen and Paul celebrate their triumph over odds in a world where over 51% marriages end in divorce. They shed light on their two beautiful children—a 34-year-old son pursuing a doctorate in education and a 25-year-old son in the finance sector—and their contributions to this journey of Black Love. As part of highlighting their journey, the hosts reveal their plans to incorporate their love for reading into the podcast. Additionally, they offer listeners an opportunity to join in discussions on books like 'Help is on the Way' by Country Wayne, 'What Set Me Free' by Brian Bank, 'Think and Grow Rich, A Black Choice' by Dennis Kimbrough and Napoleon Hill, and 'The Four Agreements' by Don Miguel Ruiz. They fondly reflect on their love story — notably, how perseverance and the gift of laughter have kept their bond alive for 35 years. Their narrative aims to inspire couples from various stages of relationships and even those embracing singlehood, to embark on this shared journey of love and self-growth. While they aren't therapists, their heartfelt share of trials, tribulations, joys, and affirmations for almost four decades of marital life may serve as a golden well of wisdom to those listening. So join Ellen and Paul, as they kick off their weekly dose of Black love on the inaugural episode of 'E Says, P Says'.
