30-year-old Nikki McPhatter was on top of the world in 2009. She was recently discharged from the Navy after serving ten years and was anxious to build a successful life for herself. She knocked down many professional goals and worked through graduate school, earning an MBA. She owned her home in CHarollete, NC. However, while achieving her dreams, she knew she wanted to marry and have children eventually. The only way to begin working on that goal was to date. In 2008-09' online dating was unconventional and considered taboo. Nikki accepted the challenge and tried her hand at something new because what was traditional was no longer working. Equipped with conversations with family about the dangers and how to be safe from friends and family, she set out to make ALL her dreams come true. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/murderintheblack/message
