How We Fell in Love in 3 Days | Dear Black Love | Refinery29
Colby didn’t know that she would meet the love of her life on a work trip to write about Black-owned business. Truly a whirlwind romance, Colby and Khaliah met and fell in love over three days in Houston. A year and a half later, Colby has relocated from Mérida, Mexico to Houston, Texas - a place they now both call home.

I love seeing black women happy and in heathy relationships. I am here for this.
This is cool. The communication, intellect, and sensibility mentioned in this video is amazing.
I’ve been waiting for intelligent lesbian conversations that elevate us. The way in which you two effectively communicate, understanding that you each require separate healing. Mentioning the 8 year old version was offended; many women have yet to comprehend the little girl in them must be healed. I fell in love at 55, met her online, after three months I moved in with her (when you know, you know; I definitely knew she was my special person). We’ve been together for six years and married for five years. I feed the little girl I see in my wife, she asked me how I know about her childhood, my response was, dearest wife, I’m a great listener, plus I love observing you: Fears brought on by things happening during your childhood, being mistreated for the darkness of your skin, and more. A willingness to open up, revealing your truths although is totally uncomfortable, yet necessary to maintain a healthy relationship in my opinion is a must. Thank you for this video, keeping a journal then sharing a entry was profound.
My mom would say they definitely knew each other in a past life.
I love seeing black women LOVED! That's the ultimate...because when we are loved, we bloom. Doesn't matter by who!
I soooo feel this ❤️❤️❤️❤️
If it works for them it just does ..
🤣🤣 ok 👍
Love what you said
❤
As quiet as it’s kept “straight women” who get involved with lesbian women have had the desire to do so before they entered into that relationship. Energy attracts energy. Just because you don’t act on being gay does not make you any less gay. This “straight” woman is by definition a bisexual woman. The desire of her being with another woman attracted them to be together. You are not going to attract what you don’t think about. Lesbian women often times know they are gay like myself before there is any interaction with the same sex. You literally just know, it’s innate, even though we define sexuality by who you have sex with, i think it’s more so on a spiritual level. Who you have sex with doesn’t necessarily determine your sexuality. Who you are to your core and spiritually who you truly desire as well as your true essence determines what your sexuality is.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I completely agree with this.
Agreed
this is random but are there any black lesbian influencers, writers etc that you specifically follow?
Love this comment and the connection to spiritual knowing. I had a “late-in-life” discovery of queerness and it wasn’t because I fell in love with a particular person; it was truly a spiritual discovery. I feel like God opened me up and guided me along this journey. It’s challenging to understand why it happened in my late 30s/ and into my early 40s, but such is life:)
They seem very much in love. This is beautiful to see.
Are you seeing someone currently 🌈
This is such a BEAUTIFUL story! Just shows that people should stop trying to fall in love with a " type" and fall in love with people...true love always comes unexpectedly... it finds you... you can't force it.. this story is a true testimony of that...
Sooooo true
Indeed 💕
Beaming through this whole video! I feel my spirit received something it truly needed
What you looking for ?🌈
I totally relate to that situation where things that don't normally happen bring 2 people together and they have an instant deep connection ❤
I love them together so much. This seems like a grown, real relationship.😍🌻😘
I absolutely LOVE their energy!! What a beautiful couple! 😍
Wishing for a love like this. Organic, genuine, and fulfilling ❤️❤️
Same
“I stay because you were CREATED for me”
The part i like is being emotionally available for a relationship, not choosing a women but connecting with a person that happened to be a female.
Like wow...this is some fine chemistry..really soulmates, i am sure that these two wonderful women had a connection from a previous life. I had seen lady in the jeans jacket at a wedding which she was the priest ( so to speak) giving two also drop dead beauties each others hand in marriage..She has great energy..so happy for her that she finally found her lady. May they both have years of happiness, great health and blessings together. 👍🏾🤗🌹I,m thinking of trying my luck in Atlanta to find my queen and bring her back to Switzerland, seems like magic happens there.😄😄😄
I want a love like this…honest, open and brave ❤
Same here
I can feel the authenticity in their bond. I would caution people who fall for the same sex to not identify as gay immediately particularly if they have been straight their whole life. You are who you are not who you love. If she was straight then she likely is still straight she just organically fell in love with one woman. She may not be attracted to other woman, just the woman shes with. so in essence she found her person.
I guess bisexual people don't exist then?
But she’s in a gay relationship, so she’s definitely not straight. The label ‘gay’ isn’t a negative thing. If she goes back to men for the rest of her life after this girl then she’s bisexual/queer/whatever… but straight? No. Words have meaning.
Sexuality is fluid and each individual can choose to identify however they want, whether it's straight 5 years ago, gay now or pansexual in the future. You never know what life could throw your way.
😂😂 girl bye
We label ourselves so much as if categorisation is needed when feeling and experiencing the wholeness of Love and the energies going with that.
Relationship goals... it's beautiful.
With a female interesting
Non struggle love… amazing!
Deviant love.
Colby and Khaliah, you seem like a wonderful couple, and I wish you nothing but the best!
Love how organic and beautiful this relationship seems to be. It really reminds me of "LOVE is LOVE!" and sometimes the package that it shows up in may not be what we expected. Such an incredible and poetic love story. Happy for them.
I truly love this, this made my heart smile to know that true love exists. Loving how you both worked on you both together. I’m praying for this love 🌈
