Yesterday we were floored to be blessed by such a humbling experience. We were included in an amazing list of power couples on the move that are making it happen. We were actually the only couple that weren’t Black A-Listers so to say we were surprised would be an understatement. Only 23 couples were selected and you can check us out at #16. Thank you BMWK family for riding with us for the past (almost) 2 years. None of this would be possible without you!

Some of the other couples included were:

  • President and the First Lady
  • Will and Jada
  • Vincent Hughes and Sheryl Lee Ralph
  • Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey
  • Jay-Z and BeyoncĂ©
  • Grant Hill and Tamia
  • Courtney B. Vance and Angela Bassett
  • Boris Kodjoe and Nicole Ari Parker
  • Rodney and Holly Robinson Peete
  • Adrian and Michelle Fenty
  • Eric Holder and Sharon Malone
  • Samuel Jackson and LaTanya Richardson

    Wow! What an honor. Look at that list! Congratulations. Great meeting you at Blogalicious even before I knew how famous you were. ;-) I hope this means more sponsorships and wider viewing of your movie.

    Congrats! I stumbled across this website after I saw the Universoul Circus this year and was trying to see if it was just me that thought it was wack. I haven't had a chance to read everything but I will after I type this. I like the title already (even though I'm not married or have kids, I would like to)...congrats again :)

    Oh, wow!!! Congratulations! I guess that means the two of you are something like a big deal, huh?! :) *wink* That's awesome - totally deserved. I can't {honestly} say I've been a frequent visitor but I've stopped through and checked the site out from time to time over the last few months and always find something I like - great things here; always refreshing to be able to find a site with contributions that all shed positive light on things that you typically only find the negative references elsewhere. KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK! Congrats again!!! Very exciting :) :) Kat @ For the Love of Chaos

    @ Lamar & Ronnie, everytime I log in you are on another adventure or being awarded/recgonized for your craft. Your career portfolio is not only refreshing but is constantly growing. Although we may not realize all the blood sweat and tears you went through before your first post, we know you are being richly rewarded (and I am not talking money). The two years that we have gotten to know the two of you seems like a short time for BMWK to blow up so huge. Congratulations. I am so excited for the both of you, you earned it and deserve everything that comes your way. You are in great company with the others on the list and a congrats to them also. Hey Lamar & Ronnie, have you thought about politics? The number one couple on the list will have to resign their reign in The White House in seven more years. LOL. Keep continuing what you do, it's working. I love the two of you like family and love reading all of your accomplishments.

    I don't how I missed this, but I'm glad I finally saw it. I am so happy and proud to be a witness to this fabulous site. I knew when i stumbled upon it, I would not be dissapointed. Unique, powerful, funny, educational, etc and always with god included. And i'm glad to see that you're being noticed worldwide as well. Continued blessings!!
