Tamia & Grant Hill Just Celebrated 21 Years Of Marriage


I'm a person that loves love but for me personally, there's something about Black love that just hit different and if you feel like I do, Tamia and Grant Hill's latest anniversary video is probably the best thing you'll see all day.

Celebrating their 21st wedding anniversary, the couple posted a video dancing to Tamia's "Can't Get Enough of You", and if my husband isn't down to hit a mean two-step with me like she and Grant did, I don't want him.

After more than 21 years, two children, and a scary multiple sclerosis diagnosis, Tamia and Grant Hill are living proof that Black love is alive and well in these streets and we love to see it. In a previous interview on OWN's Black Love, the former ballplayer revealed that the moment he knew Tamia was the one was when he ate her French toast:

"One day, in the morning, she made this bomb French toast. And I was like, 'I could marry her.' I mean, she's strong, she's beautiful, she's a fighter, we're compatible, and she can cook? And so, I knew I could marry her."

The couple has had their fair share of challenges—including when Grant sustained a serious ankle injury and Tamia was diagnosed with MS—but they have managed to have each other's back despite it all. In a previous interview with ESSENCE, Tamia explained:

"Every day you are just saying to each other, 'we are going to work it out, we are going get through it together,' [because] it's not about looking into each other's eyes, it's about looking in the same direction. So, there's no secret."

As I move through life and experience different highs and lows, one thing that has become increasingly clear is the importance of self-love and self-worth. Now, I’m not saying it’s always easy, but I do feel like if it’s in a good place, people experience life more fully. And when it comes to love, my friend Amanda Wicks and her husband, Will Ford, are the perfect example.

Amanda may not remember this, but years ago, on one of her many visits back to Atlanta (we both went to Clark Atlanta University), she sat across from me at a dinner table and declared she was done looking for love. She was happy with who she was, and while she still desired it, it was no longer something she was chasing. “If it happens, it happens,” she said. The statement was so bold it made me quickly reroute our usual dating story catch-ups and awkwardly move to a different topic.

I’m not a fan of casual sex. One reason is because I used to participate in it with several guy friends, and it can come with challenges and complications that you can seriously underestimate…until it’s too late. Another reason is that I know what casual means, and I have no desire, these days, to participate in random, apathetic, and careless activities.
