Author: Tommy Oliver, Codie Elaine Oliver, Black Love Podcast Network September 17, 2021 Duration: 1:18:45
In this 2018 interview for the second season of Black Love Doc, Rai and Shaun King share their 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.
