The (heart)Beats
Introducing Shanelle's 5 heartBEATS- Mark Dupree (husband), Layla (12), Mark, II (11), Lilly (10), and Micah (9).
Mark and Shanelle met briefly while attending two different colleges through a leadership conference called the Big XII on Black Student Government. They met again when Shanelle moved to Kansas to attend law school in 2005. Mark was a 2nd year law student and she was beginning my journey at Washburn University School of Law.
Fast forward 15 years they are enjoying 13 years of marriage and have 4 active and beautiful children. The theme for their wedding was "I have found the one whom my soul loves," Song of Solomon 3:4. This still rings true today.
They have traveled many roads together, and Shanelle is grateful for this man of God she is sharing life with and the 4 bundles of greatness they are raising.
