Black love. Can you feel its power?

Powerful. How can something so powerful be thought of as merely a fantasy?

Black Love is something so rarely shown on mainstream television, that it’s easy to forget happy, cohesive, Black relationships and families exist outside of anything other than Fresh Prince.

We exist. But efforts have been made to shadow that existence.

As we look to progress, we must change little by little the stereotypes put on our people, so that we can break out of the boxes they sorted us into.

Black Love is beautiful. We need to recognize this and uplift healthy Black relationships, and not discriminate against each other over different skin shades or hair types. Black Love is precious. It is more than just love between two people. It is a connective bond, where two souls mesh completely to form an elegant confidence.

When I see Black couples on the street, it brings warmth to my heart, knowing that no matter how much we as a group of people over the course of history have been pulled apart by oppressors, and in the end, have still found a way to back to one another, to achieve the pure and autonomous love we deserve. Black Love has stood the test of time. We have battled and fought to keep families and relationships together. Now it is time to leverage this by amplifying our community’s voice to show the world that we are here, we are powerful, and we will change the world for the betterment of our future generations.
