Description

Spouses Anter Abdallah (31) and Sherri Nash (40) share the story of how they met, debating the question of whether they were brought together by divine intervention or coincidence.

Subject Log / Time Code

Anter Abdallah (AA) asks Sherri Nash (SN) if she thinks they were brought together by divine intervention or coincidence.
SN describes her life in New Orleans in her 20s before she met AA.
AA describes how he got to New Orleans, his experience being homeless, and how he and SN used to take the same bus to go to work/school without ever meeting each other.
SN talks about meeting AA on a dating site and deciding to give him a chance even though he was much younger than her.
SN remembers going to see a psychic, skeptical of her abilities, and her surprising her with a vision about her grandmother.
