Joseph slid into Asani's DMs on July 19, 2020! Asani took a picture and posted it on her IG stories. Joseph responded instantly! "Pretty" Asani, being her always thoughtful self wondered whether or not she should actually respond. Since she was in a space of trying new things and creating new possibilities, she decided, for the first and only time, to respond to this perfect stranger. But what could she say that would keep her safe but also show her new sense of freedom and discovery of flow? The only response she could come up with was "Thank you!" She and Joseph had a casual conversation (via IG), until she arrived at her destination thinking that she would never speak to him again. A few days later Joseph sent her a note checking on her. It was the day Asani was moving out of her NYC apartment. He asked what she needed, she responded- a prayer. Joseph sent her a prayer in real time! From that point on they continued on their journey of getting to know one another and the rest is history! Asani and Joseph got engaged May 6, 2022 and are getting married: March 24, 2024 3 pm PST Leal Vineyards 300 Maranatha Drive Hollister, CA 95023
