Our story stems from the cliche and movie "Love and Basketball." We met while attending Montreat Christian College as student athletes. The first time we were introduced to one another was at the chapel in the middle of campus while on our way to the gym. Tahjma was walking by as he was driving by the chapel. There in front of the chapel he stopped and we had our first conversation. Kind of ironic, but that day God had a plan for us.

“During the last week of November 2016 the couple took a vacation to Puerto Rico to celebrate Tahjma’s late brother Evan's 27th birthday. The evening of his birthday was celebrated with dinner and cake. Unknown to Tahjma, MJ had an ulterior plan. As dessert was served MJ took a knee and proposed.”
