Khayri and DeNecia first met on the campus of SUNY Oswego. They both were active on different organizations on campus. DeNecia, Caribbean Student Association, and Khayri, Black Student Union. The offices of both organizations were adjacent to one another, DeNecia often recalls Khayri walking by smiling and peering into the office. Khayri, often remembers being friendly to DeNecia and her not responding. Debatable. Although the two lived in the same dorm building and worked so closely on student organizations, they never had a direct conversation until crossing paths at a local bar. The two went on a date shortly after Khayri graduated in 2015 and have been together ever since.
