We first crossed paths in August 2021 during freshman orientation at South Carolina State, introduced by a suite mate. From the very moment our eyes met, an undeniable spark ignited between usāa connection so instant and profound it felt as if the universe had conspired this meeting all along. From that day forward, we were inseparable, discovering each otherās hearts more deeply with every passing moment. These four years (almost five) have given us opportunities to learn how to love and support one another. We are so blessed to have found each other so soon and are so excited for all the adventures, nurturing, and growth in the many many years ahead.
