  • NEW Love story๐Ÿ˜ญโค๏ธ #passthetissues 
Today meet Amreet @kaurconfidence and Luis! Amreet is a British Punjabi Indian woman, and Luis is an Angolan African man.  They met in secondary/high school when they were both 17 years old and as Amreet shares, they had a profound โ€œsoul connection.โ€ 

While Luis's family was apprehensive about their relationship due to their cultural differences, Amreet had been told from a young age not to bring a Black or Muslim person into the family; White people you could just about get away with. Find out what happened after Amreet finally told her parents about Luis five years later, the obstacles they have confronted, their advice for other couples, how things are with their families, and so much more! #linkinbio
