Paul and Ellyn Mock

What happens when a girl from Brooklyn and a boy from South Central Los Angeles find each other in college — and never let go? 37 years of marriage. 43 years of friendship. And enough real life between them to fill a book. EsaysPsays is the candid, unfiltered conversation of Paul and Ellyn Mock — told from our perspective. A special educator who survived the streets of South Central. A Brooklyn girl who grew up worlds apart but loved the same man through all of it. Together they've navigated young love, culture clash, grief, financial strain, family chaos, faith and a whole lot of laughter. This isn't a perfect marriage podcast. It's an honest one. New episodes every two weeks. Because real love stories don't have a finale — they just keep going. #BlackLove #BlackMarriage #Cheersto37Years #37YearsAndCounting
