“As a mom of kids that are Black, I worry about this stuff every single day. From the time they were born, as a mom, it’s been on my radar.”
Peete credited therapy and ensuring the two remain “on the same page” as the keys to a long, successful marriage. Some of the relationship struggles that have led them to “fall off a page here and there” have included parenting an autistic son and Rodney’s adjustment to football retirement.
“Sometimes as people, you drift and you have to make a conscious effort to stay together and stay focused on what’s important in your marriage,” she said. “People say marriage is 50/50, [but] I say marriage is 100/100, meaning you’ve got to give 100% of yourself 100% of the time. And, we're human beings, so we don't always do that, but it's very important that you are in this to win this, respect each other, and [are] constantly on the same page. We call it, ‘same page love.
“We’ve always believed in therapists and licensed marriage counselors,” she continued. “You're not always going to be in the same place as your husband [and] you're not always going to feel like talking about things in a productive way. So, when we sit down with a therapist or a third party who is objective, it's as simple as that. It's not a lobotomy. It's just sitting down and having constructive conversations, and sometimes you need guidance in that area.”.
Peete praised the likes of Hallmark and Netflix for increasingly embracing cultural diversity onscreen. “As Black people we are very diverse, and I love seeing the diversity of who we are come out on camera,” she said. “We're seeing Netflix doing a great job of it. And a lot these networks are doing a great job, and even Hallmark Channel is diving into making that happen. It's so important. We need to see different versions of us [because] we don't all do the same thing [or] like all the same stuff. We're different just like everybody else is.
