In March of 2015, Shawntay and a friend walked into IHOP, (yes the International House of Pancakes) where Derrick was a server. And although, Derrick was not Shawntay's server (you wouldn't have known that by the way he took over the table from the actual server), he was determined to make a lasting impression. The happy couple started dating in April of that year, but not before Shawntay stood Derrick up a time or two times (she wasn't sure if he was a frog or a prince). The two became inseparable instantly! On May 8th, Derrick asked Shawntay to be his girlfriend. It was that day, he also let her know that one day, she would be his wife. That day came on September 16, 2017. As aspiring artists and soulmates, Derrick and Shawntay are working hard to be examples of black love and black entrepreneurship. They support one another, whether it's at a comedy show or a concert! This mixture of love, laughs and lyrics is the perfect recipe for a lifetime of love!
