This gaze isn't melancholy; rather I am in awe. I am sitting in the restaurant that Summer and I had our first date over 10 years ago. Who knew that awkward and crazy night would lead to this... • • • • #sprouton #soyka #mrsandmrs #marriedblacklesbians #esinthepod #10yearslater #queerparentsofcolor #firstdateledtomarriage #iloveher #dedication #foreverlove #qwoc #blacklesbiancouples #blacklesbianmagic (at Soyka Restaurant)

#latergram - this is how mom and daughter started our Monday this morning. After a run/walk combo we kicked it into high gear before heading to school and work. I hope we continue to remember to spend some time in the sun for ourselves. - - - #esinthepod #sprouton #summer17 #summertime #mondaymotivation #mondaymorning #mondayblues #motherdaughtertime #queerparentsofcolor #queerparenting #andromom #epodtribe #familytime #beachlife #team2moms

The #grades on this #reportcard with its tiny font is saying so much. I (Summer) clearly remember Emmy literally buckling down with anxiety in the middle of a morning run in Aug '16. She was so consumed with fear of what was to come and if she had what it took to make it thru her Junior year of high school. Fast forward to today when we received her report card. All of those grades were hard earned and well deserved. For me, these grades don't represent how intelligent or smart, or hard working Emmy is - though she is all of that and then some. What these grades represent for me and Kendal is Emmy walking into fear, giving it her best effort and eventually realizing that she is phenomenal and can accomplish whatever she sets her mind to. This is despite all of the negative messages she receives from society, Caucasian classmates and others saying she is not worthy because of the intersection of her race, complexion and gender. Will see face anxiety and fear again, of course. Unfortunately, it is something both she and I have in common. However, Emmy is such an unassuming, humble and gritty force. Just by her actions and behavior she has inspired and encouraged me to look beyond the anxiety and worry of being the only one who looks like me to be the best and vulnerable at the same time. Thank you Emmy and Kudos to You!! Know that me and your mom are so proud of what you accomplished. We can't wait to see what is next. - - - #sprouton #esinthepod #straightastudent #pushingbeyondfear #blackgirlmagic #queerparenting #inspirational #weloveourdaughter #team2moms

Last week was a rough one for the EPod family. With 4 audaciously strong spirits in the house, sometimes the emotions are a lot to withstand. This past weekend, in her infinite wisdom my wife suggested an evening trip to our local beach. We all enjoyed playing in the sand and relaxing. For a brief moment each of our cares and stresses washed away as the ways broke on the shore. - - - #livelife #sprouton #esinthepod #beach #beachtime #waves #nofilterneeded #ilovemydaughters #ilovemywife #duskatthebeach #mrsandmrs #qpoc #queerparents #qwoc #bigafro #melaninpoppin (at Ocean Ridge, Florida)

My career has offered me many opportunities to grow and stretch. The latest includes my group immediately tripling in size and inspiring this new larger team to reimagine how we do things together to bring value and mitigate complex risks. With this quick change, I spent today rereading articles from #harvardbusinessreview to revise and fine tune both my leadership and management strategies. In addition to racism, sexism and homophobia, (my constant trifecta) politics and toxic people are also part of the fabric of corporate culture. I also spent time absorbing some of the healthiest and best tactics to address and deal with it all. Will it all work out, we will see... - - - - #esinthepod #sprouton #toxicpeople #imtheboss #itsaboutinspiringothers #puttinginwork #leadership #management #outleadership #queerblackboss #wewillsucceed #together #instalesbians #iamoneofthelegendarychildren #alwaysqueer #unapologeticallyblackandqueer #unapologeticallyblack #hbr

It was a Sunday exactly 10 years ago today. We met at an L Word Party having no idea that it was the first day toward our forever after. Ten years together, five years married, two children and thousands of smiles, laughter and tears. I (Summer) spent a quarter of my life with Kendal and so grateful that our ❤continues to grow and thrive. Our audacious Queer 🖤sustains me and constantly challenges me to be a better Person, Wife, Parent, Daughter, Sister and Friend. HAPPY FIRST DAY WE EVER MET! I Love You Forever & A Day! - - - - #SproutOn #esinthepod #10yearanniversary #wemet10yearsagotoday #blackqueerlove #team2moms #audaciouslyqueer #audaciouslyinlove #happyeverafter
