An LGBTQ+ biracial couple is showing people how it’s done when it comes to their family.
Ebony and Denise, who have a TikTok page together under the username @team2moms, post uplifting videos to their page to help normalize families with two mothers.
Ebony and Denise share three children, twins Jayden and Lucas and Olivia.
“So, let’s talk about having two, gay moms,” their oldest child Olivia says in a video. “It is not confusing at all. I call this mom [Ebony] Mommy and this mom [Denise] Mama. It’s not confusing at all.”
On their TikTok page, which is verified and has accumulated nearly five million followers, the couple shares videos shutting down haters by promoting LGBTQ+ inclusivity.
The couple has been in a relationship since 2008 and got married nine years ago.
“I have something to say,” Olivia said in one of their TikTok videos. “I have two moms that love me, a lot. It doesn’t matter which mom carried me and which mom didn’t. I know that they will always be my moms.”
Ebony and Denise make sure they teach their children the value of accepting your most authentic self, a practice that has translated well across their page and resonates with social media users.

In good fun, the couple tried the viral challenge where parents run in opposite directions to see which of their children takes after them. Since the challenge is most frequently done with a mother and a father, Ebony and Denise thought they'd test it out and see what happened when they put their two youngest children to the task.
@team2moms Were you shocked by these results?! ???????????? ##runnertrackstarchallenge ##lgbt ##fyp
On YouTube, where the couple has almost 450,000 subscribers, they post more in-depth content about their sex life, raising a child with autism, lifestyle vlogs and how they maintain their family dynamic as two mothers.
“We hope to inspire, inform, and connect with people who can relate to our story and might consider sharing their own story of 'coming out.' Coming out is a journey of self-acceptance, and we hope to inspire the courage in our viewers to be authentically who they are,” they write in all of their YouTube video captions. “We would like for our viewers to realize that the life they envision living is in fact possible. That having a partner, career, and family is possible in spite of being stigmatized by society."
