In 2017, Shana was starting a new job at the CDC in “Chocolate City” (Atlanta, GA). In the weeks before moving, she binge-watched Insecure. Shana was single and ready to mingle, so when the show plugged the exclusive dating app, “The League” she was curious. There was a waitlist to join, so Shana signed up a month prior to moving and set her location to ATL, but she was invited to “The League” 1 day later. She came across the young, strapping, Mike and pondered if she should swipe right. He was handsome, an engineer, and tall, BUT he went to a school Shana didn’t know, the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. She questioned his judgment, because why didn’t he choose Howard University? She gave him the benefit of doubt and swiped right. The next day a hurricane hit Miami and Shana was without power for days. Bored, Shana drove until she got cell signal in a Miami Subs parking lot. She had tons of notifications from suitors on The League, and one was Mike. After hours of chatting she was ready to go home and told Mike her messages would be delayed because there was no power. Mike questioned, “is she trying to curve me,” “is she catfish,” and expected not to hear from her again. Mike did hear from her again. After weeks of calls and texts Shana moved to Atlanta and they went on their first date. After an amazing night, they sat in Mike’s car with music playing. Mike, being an irresistible player, knew Shana was into him and decided to go in for their first kiss! Nervous, but confident, he closed his eyes, puckered, and leaned in! Then WHAM! Shana hit him with her purse and ran to her car!— Just kidding! She did curve him THAT time, but he got a kiss on their second date at a comedy club! From there, the two built their friendship which blossomed into a romantic relationship that would last forever. Long story short- Shana never got to mingle in Hotlanta because Mike was thirsty for her attention and wouldn’t give her the chance to entertain anyone else.
