By: Amy Wise Those of you that know me, know I’m a VERY positive person. Lately, however I’ve been a little disheartened by all the negative stories directed at specific groups or religions. From the minister and church in Kentucky that refused membership to interracial couples, to Lowe’s Home Improvement pulling their ads from All […]
By: Amy Wise Flashback to Thanksgiving 1993…Jamie and I had been husband and wife for just a few months and we were going to our first “married Thanksgiving” at his sister’s house. His sister asked me to bring a dish to share with everyone and I was so excited to be contributing to the Thanksgiving dinner. I […]
By: Amy Wise Last week our family had the honor of being featured in USA Today. I was interviewed for the piece and then a photographer came out and did a photo shoot of our family. We had such a great time with the photographer; he actually ended up joining us for a little dinner […]
By: Amy Wise Life, it’s pretty much a rollercoaster ride for all of us at some point. My particular roller-coaster needs to be named, and I think I will call it infinity, because truly, it never seems to end. As you all know we are STILL dealing with the lawsuit against the Otay Water Department, […]
By: Amy Wise It’s funny, when my husband and I are together, whether in a restaurant, standing in line somewhere, even at a hospital, people aren’t quite sure if we are a couple. A while back I was in the emergency room (that’s another crazy story for another day) and we were waiting for the […]
By: Amy Wise It’s all about college tours at the Wise house right now. We just returned from San Francisco State University, which is Tatiana’s first choice for college.

By: Amy Wise When Jamie and I got married in 1993, we knew that we wanted to have children right away. We both love our families and we wanted to start our own soon after our wedding, so we did! Tatiana Chantal Wise came into this world 17 years ago, on September 20th, 1994. From […]
By: Amy Wise “Hello, this is the Oprah Winfrey network calling.” Yes, that was the message that was playing on my answering machine last week as I walked toward my phone in disbelief. The caller went on to say that he was looking to speak with Amy Wise about an article she wrote about tough […]
By: Amy Wise Who knew on a fateful day 19 years ago while driving up the 805 freeway in San Diego, my life would change forever?! That was the day I “met” my hubby, and our future was set in motion. The story still blows my mind! Now, flash forward to…August 21st, 2011…our 18th […]
By: Amy Wise Lately I’ve seen question after question on various interracial websites about what couples should do when family members don’t accept their interracial relationship.
