She's a beautiful, strong, and a very intelligent woman of color who grew up in the culturally diverse city of Houston, Texas.

Fast forward to today. She's happily married and gives us a little advice as to how to make love work.

Hello everyone. Just wanted to throw in a quick update about the podcast and where we will be heading in the future. I hope you all are staying safe and healthy. Until next time, take care and wear you masks! 

As I stare at his picture, I see a very handsome, fair-skinned man with a red beard, sporting a black baseball cap with a fish hook decorating the bill. Intently, he stares into the blue skies as though he's studying the beauty all around him. Looking at this picture, I would have never known that only a few years ago, Matt went by the name of… Melanie. For a second, try to imagine being assigned a female body that didn't match your inner male being. Now, imagine feeling this way and growing up in a small town in Texas, born into a conservative family, where religion played a big role in your life. These struggles were his reality. Slowly, he found outlets and along the way, finally found himself.  Having to overcome a lot of adversity and a battle with mental health, his triumph will leave you a fan of his lovely soul for life.  So, as we test the waters with Skype, we sit, headphones in/on our ears, both our laptops between us… this is his story.

Such a beautiful couple. Each grew up Austin, Texas. Yet, the dynamic between their two families will send them down different paths, only for them to end up in each other's arms. Erica, grew up Catholic, in a small humble home where she was led to live the life of the strait and narrow. Keaton grew up in a more liberating household where everyone was accepted and never questioned. How did these two women come to find one another? Their coming out and love stories are quite the wild ride, so buckle up for this mind blowing experience!

 Zack is a young, handsome man of color. His Mexican descent helps to establish his dark, latino features. He wears his smile with confidence and his humbling, millennial attitude meshes perfectly with his personality. At the age of 26, he nervously sits before me at the anticipation of letting me into small, yet (very) personal pieces of his life. Growing up in that traditional latin culture led by his family's Jehovah's Witness religion was already hard. Now, imagine growing up latino, in the Jehovah Witness religion, and discovering you were gay… Two wine goblets, a bottle of red wine, and my laptop sit between us. This is his story… Enjoy.If you feel that your coming out story could make an impact in the community and are comfortable with letting me in to listen and to share it, I sincerely invite you to contact me via email @ itsjustlovepod@gmail.com.This episode is produced and edited by me, Fabiana.Music by SFRecords@audiojungle.netLogo Art designed by me, Fabiana and created by Dana @ Hay Logo ATXIf can follow me on Instagram @ itsjustlovepodcastLike us on Facebook @ It's Just Love PodcastYou can tune in @ Buzzsprout, Apple Podcasts, & SticherUntil next time remember:  "The revelation of our differences will only be impactful if we embrace them with positivity and kindness" ~Fabiana

The denial of social acceptance has hate crimes against the LGBTQ+ community at an all time high. In order to take a stand, we must rise in unity. It is in the face of our greatest opposition that these TRUE stories of bravery, triumph, and love from every day queer people will light our way through the darkness.  Together, we must "rage against the dying of the light." -Dylan Thomas
