Jack & Tené Manning

Author: Tommy Oliver, Codie Elaine Oliver, Black Love Podcast Network March 31, 2023 Duration: 51:00
From kickin' it with mutual friends at house parties to catching flights across the country to spend romantic nights together. In this 2014 interview, Jack and Tené Manning discuss how their platonic friendship reconnected and blossomed into the start of a beautiful black love story.

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.
