Two Wives and A Spark

We are Two Wives and A Spark. As new parents and as an interracial couple, we are on a mission to connect with others and explore how Race and Politics influence families like ours. We believe intentional conversations are vehicles for change, so we're committed to learning in public and having real talk every step of the way.

    Going Within

    Welcome to Episode 8, our final episode of Two Wives and A SPARK Season 4!    Today we offer some thoughts and reflections on going inward as we navigate these complex times and prepare ourselves for this holiday season.    We invite you to listen in as we share: Our thoughts on this question from one of our wonderful listeners: “Two Wives and a Spark! Do you have Thanksgiving advice for everyone, I guess, but me specifically? I’m super down post-election and am not super excited about hosting people who voted for the felon…I am stressed about it.” Some food for thought on boundaries  And more    As we close out this season, we would truly love to hear from you.

It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who have ever been alive."  “The great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in all that we do.” Kamala Harris quote “Let their determination be our charge. And I'll close with this. There's an adage a historian once called a law of history, true of every society across the ages. The adage is, only when it is dark enough can you see the stars. I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time, but for the benefit of us all, I hope that is not the case. But here's the thing, America, if it is, let us fill the sky with the light of a brilliant, brilliant billion of stars.” (full speech) We Can Do Hard Things Podcast - episode “Post-Election Family Meeting”  November 13th - Kindness Day
