David and Julie first met at a party of a mutual friend, but one could say it was on from there. They were engaged one year later in 2002. Married in 2003. Pregnant in 2004, Welcomed their first daughter in 2005. Pregnant again in 2006, and welcomed their second daughter in 2007. And as they would tell it then the hard part began! David was juggling marriage, family and his day job of being a nurse and his dream of being a comedian. Julie was a working mother, dancer, and they were struggling! In this 2018 interview for Black Love Doc, David and Julie share why they didn't give up on each other in the touch times with the truth humor and honestly that only these two can.

There's a richness and complexity to relationships that often gets lost in the noise of everyday life and media portrayals. Black Love: The Interviews creates a space to reclaim those narratives, moving beyond the highlight reel to explore the full, textured reality of partnership. Created by filmmakers and real-life partners Tommy Oliver and Codie Elaine Oliver, this podcast extends the conversation from their acclaimed docu-series into a more intimate, long-form audio format. Here, you'll hear extended, unfiltered conversations with the same compelling mix of everyday couples and well-known figures, all sharing their unique journeys without a script. Each episode delves into the foundational moments-how a connection first sparked, the deliberate or surprising path toward commitment, and the reshaping of a relationship after starting a family. They discuss the obstacles faced and the resilience built, offering a raw and often refreshingly candid look at what it takes to build a life together. This isn't about presenting perfect stories, but honest ones, providing listeners with a profound sense of recognition, insight, and community. Tuning into this podcast feels like being part of a necessary and deeply human dialogue about love in all its forms.
