Before we dive in, I’d love to hear from you! Text me your stories or thoughts on kindness

What does it take to change history? For Mildred and Richard Loving, it took love, quiet resilience, and an unwavering belief in their right to be together. In this special Valentine’s Day episode, we honor their remarkable journey—how a simple act of marriage led to a landmark Supreme Court decision that struck down interracial marriage bans across the United States.

But this isn’t just a story about legal battles. It’s a story of kindness, strength, and the challenges interracial couples still face today. Join me as we reflect on the Lovings’ legacy, how far we’ve come, and where we still have work to do.
