Married to a Marauder: The McGee's
Tierra & Myron first met in middle school. She was only twelve, but the very first day she saw him in Mrs. Lee-Byrd’s class, she felt it deep in her spirit, that’s my husband. He was quiet, always drawing, never trying to be seen. But I saw him. And I heard God clearly: “That’s your husband.”
They tried the middle school boyfriend-girlfriend thing (Tierra's parents weren’t ready for that), and eventually their schedules changed. Though time separated us, they’d pass in the hallways, holding onto a connection they didn’t yet have words for.
By junior year of high school, with a little help from a friend, they made it official. Prom sealed it. From that April day on, we were inseparable—navigating love, growing pains, family challenges, and the uncertainty of what came after graduation.
College took the two in different directions—Myron to Central State University, Tierra to Xavier University—but distance didn’t break them; it refined them. Interstate 75 became their love language as they traveled back and forth just to be together. Tierra spent so much time at Central that it already felt like home. Eventually, her heart made the decision her mind had been wrestling with, she transferred and became a full-time Central State student.
Myron became “Mr. Williamson Hall,” serving as a Resident Assistant. Tierra moved from Foundation to Hunter Hall and soon became an RA herself. Central didn’t just shape their education—it shaped their union.
They were married in the ballroom of the old Student Union, surrounded by the very community that watched us grow. And when they crossed the graduation stage, they did so not as two individuals—but as Mr. and Mrs. McGee.
