Janessa would first lay eyes on Lanaya at a finance conference. There was definitely a spark, and due to the intervening of a mutual friend, she was able to actually meet her. The same friend also insisted on putting together a dinner for the three of them. It was from that point that their love story would begin. From dinner and drinks to texts that Lanaya insist were in "the booty call hours" the two would end up finding it hard to picture their lives without the other. Listen to this 2018 interview for Black Love Doc to hear how they navigated being queer Black women in the finance space, the bigotry they've faced from strangers and family, and how their love keeps them going.
