Rasheeda and Ashley met through a mutual friend at Liberty University. Ashley's friend Aiesha was in an intensive course at Liberty where she met Rasheeda and they became friends. Aiesha noticed Rasheeda's state championship ring and began to ask her questions; Rasheeda explained how she had won a state championship for softball. Aiesha then began to tell Rasheeda about her friend Ashley and how she played softball too. Shortly after, Rasheeda is texting Ashley from Aiesha's phone telling her how Aiesha has met this cute, young, softball playing, special education teacher who she thinks Ashley should meet and get to know. Meanwhile, Ashley thought this was her friend Aiesha when in reality, it was Rasheeda telling her about herself . Next thing you know, Rasheeda and Ashley met at Bar Louie the next weekend for their first date, and the rest was history.
