[Beverley]

My husband and I just celebrated our 14th anniversary. I would have to say it has been 14 great years. We are an interracial couple. I am a British-born Jamaican living in the United States, which I consider to be home, and he is from Eastern Europe (or Western Asia, depending on how you look at it). This has been his home since childhood. You might think that from a cultural perspective we couldn’t be more different, but actually we have a lot in common. We were both uprooted from one culture to another at the sensitive age of 12 and were forced to adapt to another culture. He had a language barrier to overcome, of course, but when we compare notes of this traumatic experience, there are also many commonalities. He’s a math person and I’m an artist, both seeking to find beauty and order in the world, you might say. We share a lot of hobbies, music, reading, love of exotic food, travel, comedy. He’s an all-rounder and is at home here, in Jamaica, in England or Eastern Europe, and I am, too. When I meet someone from another culture, to me it is a great opportunity to find out who they really are, and my husband is curious about these things, too. I love people and treasure friends around the globe.
