\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div> \n\tTemi starts his surprise under the guise of visiting the venue to hear some great local musicians. Little does Afritina know, Temi is actually one of them. The Nautilus\u00ae Hybrid is perfect for their journey. Designed for music lovers, the vehicle\u2019s Revel\u00ae Ultima 3D helps provide an encompassing audio experience with three distinct listening modes: Traditional Stereo, Audience, which replicates the experience of the best seat in the concert hall for an intimate musical experience, and On-Stage, a surround-sound experience that puts you in the middle of it all, placing individual instruments and musical elements throughout the cabin of your vehicle.<\/p>\n \n\tAs a photographer and set designer<\/a> with two children under two, Afritina\u2019s opportunities to find time for herself have grown increasingly limited.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cEvery small moment helps,\u201d she says, whether it\u2019s a monthly foot massage, a date night, or singing along to music in the Nautilus\u00ae Hybrid with Temi.<\/p>\n \t\tEditor\u2019s picks<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n \n\t\u201cBlack women get overlooked a lot in the industry and her being a mom now, I\u2019ve seen the battle with identity and guilt,\u201d Temi says, explaining how important it is to find opportunities to celebrate Afritina as a uniquely wonderful individual.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAfritina Coker<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \n\tOn the day of Afritina\u2019s surprise, the couple begins their trip to Revelers Hall. Temi has secretly been practicing to sit in with\u00a0the Bishop Avenue Hot Six and perform a song\u2014Louis Armstrong\u2019s \u201cWhat a Wonderful World\u201d\u2014prepared especially for her. He grew up playing piano (add it to the Coker family\u2019s already-overwhelming roster of creative talents) and has been quietly planning the performance in Afritina\u2019s honor, alongside Joseph Reyes, band leader and trumpeter for Bishop Avenue Hot Six.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cYou could tell how much thought Temi put into it and how much he loves Afritina. We are honored to be a small part of that. As musicians, we\u2019re usually playing dances, parties, and club dates, but getting to help create a memory like that was really cool,\u201d Reyes describes.<\/p>\n \n\tRevelers Hall co-owner Amy Wallace Cowan describes the venue as \u201csmall, intimate, and without a formal stage, so the artists and guests are sharing space and experiences in a really unique way,\u201d making it the perfect setting for Temi\u2019s surprise performance.<\/p>\n \n\tTears in her eyes as she watches her husband perform, Afritina remarks, \u201cI can\u2019t believe he pulled that off.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\tRelated Content<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n \n\tCreativity\u2014be it music, fashion, or visual art\u2014has always been deeply intrinsic to Afritina and Temi\u2019s relationship: They originally bonded over photography and, back in 2015, before the kids and collaborative studio, Temi first confessed to having deeper feelings for Afritina during a date at a museum. The couple\u2019s motto is \u201c\u2018Till Death Do Us Art,\u201d a phrase they immortalized on the Coker Studio \u201cFor the Lovers\u201d jacket<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTemi Coker<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \n\tSimilarly important is the opportunity to build their family in a community that celebrates creativity and collaboration.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThe creative community here in Dallas is incredibly vast and offers so much more depth than I think a lot of people realize. It\u2019s been really special planting roots here,\u201d says Afritina.<\/p>\n\n
