“They loved the Black women they married in the way that Earth, Wind, & Fire sang about love finding its way into their hearts.” This is such a beautiful line. My parents have been married for 38 years and they have set such an inspiring example. I’m with you and want to see Black love as a goal within our community and I think it is for many, but for many it isn’t. I wonder what it will take to get us back there? Also, it’s funny to know that I am not the only one whose grandma would yell about staying in or out. I can still remember those moments vividly. Classic. ❤️😄
Oh wow, Alexandria, your parents' story is beautiful. 38 years is a long time, longer than my time here on Earth thus far. It should be normal for Black people to experience growing up in a home with a family built on love, or to have one for themselves. I am grateful the ladder is my story and I pray for my community we all choose the same. And I can't think of one Black person I know who didn't hear their Grandma say those words in the summertime lol. 🖤

Echoing Mariah's sentiments about the unfiltered Blackness you bring to this space. I'm so grateful for it.
Thank you, Ashleigh! It's amazing how I used to try and hide my unfiltered Blackness and now it brings me the most genuine love and support.
