It was 2017 and Dior and I were both starting our new roles as resident assistants at Kent State Univeristy. Our friendship blossomed after bonding over all the activities we had to plan! We became best friends and haven’t looked back since!

I was teaching Bible study at Kent State University when in walked Devan and Dior. A few weeks after they first walked in my wife and I sat behind them and we said to each other we must get to know these two. Devan and I exchanged numbers that day and the rest is history. I am honored to be his Pastor and I love him like a son.

Dior has always been my sidekick, even when I didn’t want her to be. But when she turned 13 she became my Bestie/Twin. God made us cousins since the world couldn’t handle us as sisters.

Mariah Green

Bridesmaid

I remember when my brother told me that he was dating someone and that he couldn’t wait for us to meet her. He said we were going to like her. We finally met Dior; now she’s about to be my sister-in-law. I’m so happy that she came into my brother’s life (she makes him so happy) and I can’t wait to stand beside her as one of her bridesmaids.

I met Dior 3 years ago at Kent State University in the lobby of a residence hall. A mutual friend introduced us as we were all getting ready to go out together. I,instantly,knew this short, little fashionable girl would be a vibe; and now, we’re closer than ever before!

I met Devan when he was, practically, a baby. When I got kicked out and moved in , thats when we started growing up together.

Dior and I met through a mutual friend while attending Kent State University in 2015. I would describe our friendship like a flower. It started with a seed that represented trust, watered by memories and laughter, thus growing into loyalty and friendship!

Dior and I met in college when we worked in the same building. We bonded over exploring the city together and talking about our dreams for the future. I’m really excited to be a part of one of those dreams coming true!
