Rollie Carencia
Building a life with his husband, Michael, Rollie reflects on the love, communication, and shared values that have shaped their relationship. After navigating the COVID-19 pandemic together, the couple approached marriage thoughtfully, questioning traditional expectations and defining what commitment meant on their own terms. Now in their 30s, Rollie shares their hopes of becoming parents through adoption or foster care and the conversations they have about raising a child as a biracial, same-sex couple. Looking toward their future together, he reflects on family, representation, and the privilege of growing older alongside the person he loves.
