Today we’d like to introduce you to Christina and Edward Sledge.
Hi Christina and Edward, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
We are high school sweethearts who met in Brooklyn, NY.
We got engaged when Edward was a soldier in the U.S. Army while I was a senior at Temple University. We eloped two months later with only fifty cents and have now been married for twenty-two years. We both obtained our bachelor’s degrees and master’s degrees while raising a family.
We published our first book, The Story of Christina and I last year. After publishing our memoir, we wanted to continue to entertain, educate and encourage others so we created a cross-platform media company, Sledge House Media.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Unfortunately, it has not been a smooth road throughout our twenty-two-year marriage.
We started our marriage with only two quarters. At the beginning of our marriage, we were a military family which required us to navigate and learn how-to balance military obligations and raise a family. Also, at one point in our marriage, we both were unemployed.
Those early struggles taught us resilience. When obstacles come our way now, we dust ourselves off and keep moving. When more than one obstacle comes in our path, we just tackle each one at a time. We realized early on that if we could survive both of us being unemployed at the same time, we could survive anything.
We are driven to succeed. We rely on each other and our faith to get us through the rough patches.
As you know, we’re big fans of Sledge House Media. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
We are a husband and wife publishing and production team. We founded Sledge House Media in 2021 to share stories of the average person. We published our first book, The Story of Christina and I last year. After publishing our memoir, we knew it was important to share with others.
Collectively in 2021, we self-published four books together. Two of our books are bestsellers on Amazon. We tell diverse and compelling stories that highlight unique experiences, and backgrounds. Additionally, all of our books are 200 pages or less to reach readers that are limited on time.

Any big plans?
We recently released a short film, Maryland Closed for COVID in January. Our short film provides a glimpse of the pandemic’s impact on Maryland businesses and the many lives that were affected. You can watch it here: https://www.
Additionally, we are scheduled to release three books and another short film in 2022. Our next book, Andre’s Confessions The Desire Family Saga: Part Two (Book 2) is scheduled for release in late April. Andre’s Confessions picks up where Ricardo’s Collisions Desire Family Saga: Part One (Book 1) left off.
