By 2030, most adults, especially women, might be single for life. A study by Pew Research Center found that nearly 1 in 4 single adults may stay single for life. While that doesn't mean everyone is destined to be alone, it does reflect big cultural changes in dating, relationships, and partnership compared to 30 years ago. Cities like Boston are even ranked among the loneliest in America.Dr. Gabe sits down with Kristal Kleer and Desiree for a candid, eye-opening conversation about the future of relationships—specifically, the growing trend of lifelong singleness among Millennials and Gen Z. Need relationship advice?

The conversation explores statistics on earnings in marriages, the impact of education on black women, the role of blue-collar workers, family dynamics, and the challenges faced by African-American women in dating. The discussion also delves into the male ego, the concept of provision beyond financial contributions, and community perspectives on gender roles and earnings. Takeaways The landscape of marriage and earnings has shifted significantly over the years. Women are increasingly becoming the primary earners in households. Education plays a crucial role in the earning potential of black women. Blue-collar workers can also earn substantial incomes, challenging stereotypes. Family dynamics greatly influence a man's earning potential and behavior. African-American women face unique challenges in dating due to economic disparities. The male ego can be affected when women earn more, impacting relationships. Provision in a relationship encompasses more than just financial support. Time and emotional support are critical components of provision. Community perceptions can influence individual relationships and choices.

Welcome to Episode 6 of the Confessions Podcast, Season Two, where we continue uncovering profound and transformative stories. This episode introduces you to the remarkable Ashley Cobb, a 39-year-old sex educator from Atlanta, Georgia, who has dedicated her life to empowering others through education and advocacy.Ashley shares her deeply personal and inspiring story, beginning with her upbringing in a conservative Christian household in rural North Carolina, just an hour outside Raleigh. Growing up, sex was a taboo topic, and Ashley received an abstinence-only education, which left her and many others ill-prepared for the realities of adult life. This early experience ignited a passion within her to become a sex educator, realizing that many adults were navigating their sexual lives through trial and error due to a lack of comprehensive sex education.With nearly a decade of experience since 2016, Ashley has become a powerful voice in the field, especially for Black women. Her professional journey took her from teaching in a classroom to earning a public health degree, driven by a desire to work specifically in HIV prevention. Ashley's work at a nonprofit in Georgia called West Care is focused on HIV prevention and education, where she discovered the importance of PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) for women. Her experience with PrEP transformed her advocacy, allowing her to speak from personal experience and encouraging other Black women to explore all available tools for HIV prevention.Join us for this enlightening episode as Ashley Cobb discusses her journey of self-discovery, the challenges of breaking barriers in sex education, and her ongoing mission to educate and empower. Her story is a testament to the importance of comprehensive sex education and its impact on individuals and communities.

Mae Mallory, the Monroe Defense Committee, and World Revolutions: African American Women Radical Activists (U Georgia Press, 2024) explores the significant contributions of African American women radical activists from 1955 to 1995. It examines the 1961 case of African American working-class self-defense advocate Mae Mallory, who traveled from New York to Monroe, North Carolina, to provide support and weapons to the Negroes with Guns Movement. Accused of kidnapping a Ku Klux Klan couple, she spent thirteen months in a Cleveland jail, facing extradition. African American women radical activists Ethel Azalea Johnson of Negroes with Guns, Audrey Proctor Seniors of the banned New Orleans NAACP, the Trotskyist Workers World Party, Ruthie Stone, and Clarence Henry Seniors of Workers World founded the Monroe Defense Committee to support Mallory. Mae's daughter, Pat, aged sixteen also participated, and they all bonded as family. When the case ended, they joined the Tanzanian, Grenadian, and Nicaraguan World Revolutions. Using her unique vantage point as Audrey Proctor Seniors's daughter, Paula Marie Seniors blends personal accounts with theoretical frameworks of organic intellectual, community feminism, and several other theoretical frameworks in analyzing African American radical women's activism in this era. Essential biographical and character narratives are combined with an analysis of the social and political movements of the era and their historical significance. Seniors examines the link between Mallory, Johnson, and Proctor Seniors's radical activism and their connections to national and international leftist human rights movements and organizations. She asks the underlying question: Why did these women choose radical activism and align themselves with revolutionary governments, linking Black human rights to world revolutions? Seniors's historical and personal account of the era aims to recover Black women radical activists' place in history. Her innovative research and compelling storytelling broaden our knowledge of these activists and their political movements.

After graduating from San Francisco State University, majoring in Mass Communications with an emphasis in broadcast media and writing for television, Asoniti relocated to Los Angeles and held several positions in the entertainment industry. Success was indeed the reward, as she quickly moved up the ladder to eventually write a couple of episodes on Will and Jada Pinkett Smiths' hit sitcom, “All of Us”. She also worked on a number of other sitcoms, including, One on One”, starring Flex Alexander and Kyla Pratt, “Second Time Around” starring Nicole Ari Parker and Boris Kojo, and “Just Jordan” a Nickelodeon show. After the writer's strike, Asoniti began independently developing and filming various projects. While honing her skills in creating, developing, and producing, a new passion blossomed in her life, care for Alzheimer's patients. When both her grandmothers passed from the condition, she educated herself about it and planned to be proactive to an ignored class of patients. What she discovered was surprising and saw an opportunity to share her found information. With very little, to no material about why African American women are twice as likely to have the disease she knew it would be fitting to develop a documentary about it. So, she did, and it is titled, “Puzzled”. PUZZLED is an Alzheimer's awareness documentary that will focus on why women are more like to have AD and why African American women are twice as likely to have it than the national average. And this would only be accomplished working alongside her daughter. As a producer on the documentary, SONI FOSTER-JACKSON is a pre-teen, sassy, smart, socializer, currently enjoying school and extracurricular activities: art, skateboarding, dance, and music – playing the French horn. Although her career goal is to become a veterinarian, she is multi-talented in production and post-production with an eye for creative edits and attractive content. Her voice plays a vital role in the project providing Alzheimer's awareness from a youthful point of view.   Simma Lieberman, The Inclusionist helps leaders create inclusive cultures.

It was a honor (and a blast!) to have Danni McNeilly on the show! She became the 31st U.S. born African-American women to break 3:00 in the marathon at Chicago two weeks ago. It was a result ten years in the making and one that put her in the history books. She also became the fourth women in the Black Roses running club to make The List - an incredible achievement for a single club. Here is a what that day meant to Danni in her own words (via her Instagram): "I've been struggling to find the words to express the feelings I have about yesterday. In my second favorite city. In the year of our Jordan (phrase coined by Tim). On the 45th running of the Chicago Marathon (Jordan's other number). After 10 years of marathoning parallel to the 10 years I been repping Roses. I ran my first sub 3 marathon and made The List. It was my time. It wasn't supposed to happen any other way. To know me is to know that I train hard so performance is never really a surprise. However, I also run heavily on vibes and that will always dictate how my race goes. Times be damned. If I want it, I'll get after it. If not, well that's that. I've said before that sub 3 was never an earnest goal but this time I changed my tune. I stopped introducing hypotheticals. No trying, no attempts. I said I was going to break 3 in Chi. I didn't give life to failure. I spoke this win into existence. Words have power and mean things. It's been a hard cycle during which I pushed my body to unseen limits. At some points I felt unsure but in the last phase of training squad held me down and made it apparent that I was more than capable. Everyone said I was ready. Knox [Robinson] said it was my day, and it was. The job is done and now we rest." You can follow Danni on Instagram at www.instagram.com/vexyspice.
