Married for 45 years, Marie (she/her) and Stanley (he/him) are as connected as a couple can be. They do everything together, and have come to {THE AND} space on Stanley's birthday. They discuss their first meeting, their equal power in their relationship, and crack up about Marie wanting Stanley to clean their garage and Stanley wanting to keep it as it is. We'd like to thank Marie and Stanley for participating openly & vulnerably in our project. We appreciate what they've shared with us and hope you do as well.
The friends talk about their communities today -- and how these groups band together to raise children and help each other in times of need, as well as how they see the Gullah community adapting and changing in the future.
