Our Wedding

TWO WORLDS, ONE LOVE

What began as a professional connection soon turned into a love neither expected. Nekisha Michelle and Abdoulie first met through a Global Community group, where Abdoulie, a registered nurse, gave a presentation on psychopharmacology. At the time, Nekisha, a doctoral student in clinical psychology and practicing psychotherapist, reached out for help understanding medications and mental health symptoms. His kindness, patience, and depth of knowledge drew her in — and over time, their conversations grew into something far more personal. They spoke every single day via WhatsApp video calls, sometimes for hours, sharing not just dreams and goals but the small, everyday moments that knit two lives together. In June 2025, Nekisha traveled to The Gambia. For nearly a month, they were inseparable — staying in their own apartment, cooking together, meeting his family, and being embraced by his community. She was welcomed by religious leaders who prayed over their union and moved by a visit to Juffere Village, home to the family of Kunta Kinte from ROOTS. One sunny afternoon, Abdoulie surprised her with a romantic beach proposal. Along with gaining a loving partner, Nekisha feels blessed to become a mother figure to Abdoulie’s joyful two-year-old son, who has captured her heart completely. Abdoulie told her, “I have already locked us together and thrown the key into the ocean. My goal is to make you so happy you will forget the pain and disappointment of your past.” She replied, “All I want is to spend this life and the next with you. I choose you over and over again.” They are now planning a wedding that reflects both their cultures, their faith, and their unwavering commitment to The Plus Side of Love.

Our Story

Eternal Goddess Union Circle 

“And finally, I will stand surrounded by these divine women, not just as a bride, but as the&nbsp;Goddess Bride of Sacred Bliss &amp; Unions. On May 8, 2026, I will step into eternal union with my beloved Abdoulie, carrying the blessings of every goddess who stands with me in this sacred circle of love.”

Goddess of Eternal Bliss: The Bride- Nekisha Michelle 

“For 20 years, she has been my breath, my heartbeat, and my soul in human form—my daughter, my miracle, my inseparable love. From her earliest battles to her radiant victories, she has been the divine reflection of God’s grace in my life. She is my Goddess of My Heartbeat &amp; Divinity, the crown jewel of my existence.”

Goddess of My Eternal Heartbeat: Islamyaat “Izzy” Kee

“For over 25 years, she has been my mentor, my big sister, my teacher, and my regal goddess of wisdom. She has guided me, held me, and never left my side—through two divorces, through a nervous breakdown, and through my greatest transformations. She is the living embodiment of balance, joy, and true partnership as she successfully navigated marriage, motherhood and entrepreneurship. Today she stands as my Goddess Keeper of Bliss &amp; Balance, reminding me that life and love can be lived with dignity, harmony, and sacred grace.”

Goddess Keeper of Eternal Bliss: Mrs Debrena Jackson Gandy

“At 70 years young, radiant and sweet, she is like a mother to me. We met five years ago in Mary Kay Cosmetics, where our bond was sealed as we rose together—promoted to directorship, earning the use of free cars, and having each other’s back every step of the way. Though miles separated us and we hadn’t met in person, she later traveled to Mexico to celebrate my 50th birthday by my side, showing the depth of our connection. Married for 43 years, she and her beloved husband are living proof that eternal love exists. She has been my comfort, my counsel, and my inspiration. Today she stands as my Goddess Matron of Eternal Love, a crown of wisdom in this sacred circle.”

Goddess Matron of Eternal Love: Mrs Carolyn Muse

“A 30 plus year union began with our journey to becoming ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Shelley is my line sister. Through joy, through distance, even through seasons of silence and forgiveness, she has proven that true sisterhood is eternal. We’ve carried each other through the hardest times in love and in life, traveling countless miles between New Jersey and Ohio just to be near each other. I will never forget her Curry Chicken, or the days I watched her balance being a student, a wife, and a mother with such grace that you would never know the emotional weight she carried. Her strength has comforted me, her humor has lifted me until my sadness turned into laughter, and her presence has been the law and order of my life and our line sisters. She is my rock, my covenant bond, my Goddess of Eternal Sisterhood.” 🩷💚
