"The gift of God to us in marriage is that it perfects our love." In this powerful second installment of the Black Marriage Movement series, Jasahn Larsosa shares an emotionally resonant reflection on what it means to grow as a man, a husband, and a father within the framework of love, commitment, and community. Joined in life and purpose by his wife, Krystal Larsosa, Jasahn unpacks the complex journey from his early ideals shaped by television portrayals of Black family life to the real-world models of married couples in his Detroit neighborhood—people who anchored and enriched the block. His story of longing for Krystal since they were teenagers, detouring through revolutionary activism and spiritual searching, and ultimately returning to build a life together, is filled with depth and honesty. From navigating the unspoken fears Black men carry around provision and protection, to enduring a house fire that reshaped their home and outlook, Jasahn reveals how marriage has refined not only his sense of responsibility, but also his sense of self. Together, the Larsosas are redefining Black love through the Black Marriage Movement, a ministry of healing, truth-telling, and empowerment that challenges dominant narratives and uplifts the unseen strength of Black fathers and husbands. This isn't just a story of partnership—it's one of purpose, legacy, and the sacred work of building family as a revolutionary act.

ENCORE EPISODE: Black Women, Black Love Finally, a female voice on how black love has come to the state that it is currently in by looking back to see how we got here. Join me for this in-depth discussion regarding Dr. Dianne Stewart's' book, Black Women, Black Love: America's War on African American Marriage. We go beyond just being enslaved, we cover her (and others) research from true stories via The Slave Narratives and other's biographies, and even the U.S. pension files, on how America has methodically done everything possible to keep black love as far apart and as shallow as possible from slavery up through today. THIS is a book that should be read by all! Dr. Stewart's Bio: Dianne Marie Stewart is a professor of Religion and African American Studies at Emory University specializing in African-heritage religious cultures in the Caribbean and the Americas. She was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and grew up in Hartford, CT, USA.  She obtained her B.A. degree from Colgate University in English and African American Studies, her Masters of Divinity degree from Harvard Divinity School, and her Ph.D. degree in systematic theology from Union Theological Seminary in New York City, where she studied with well-known scholars such as Delores Williams, James Washington, and her advisor James Cone. Dr. Stewart joined Emory's Faculty of Arts and Sciences in 2001 and teaches courses in the graduate and undergraduate programs. Dr. Stewart's research has been supported by the Fulbright Scholar Program, the Abraham J. and Phyllis Katz Foundation, and other prestigious fellowships and institutions. She is the author of numerous scholarly articles and chapters, as well as three monographs—Three Eyes for the Journey: African Dimensions of the Jamaican Religious Experience (Oxford University Press, 2005), Black Women, Black Love: America's War on African American Marriage (Seal Press, 2020) and Obeah, Orisa and Religious Identity in Trinidad: Africana Nations and the Power of Black Sacred Imagination – Orisa, Volume II (Duke University Press, October 2022). She is also a founding co-editor, with Drs. Jacob Olupona and Terrence Johnson, of the Religious Cultures of African and African Diaspora People series at Duke University Press. Over her career at Emory, Dr. Stewart has won several awards including the Emory Williams Distinguished Undergraduate Teaching Award, the Emory College of Arts and Sciences' Distinguished Advising Award, and the Emory University Laney Graduate School's Eleanor Main Graduate Faculty Mentor Award. However, Dr. Stewart is most proud of her leadership of Emory's Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Program, an international initiative that aims to diversify the academy by helping students from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups to earn the Ph.D. degree and secure faculty positions at tertiary institutions across the United States and South Africa.

Sometimes you need to reframe the reframe, and that lesson comes bright and early on a Monday. For Felicia it came in the form of comparison. We all have those moments when we wonder why we aren't where that other person is, EVEN if it's someone we love dearly. It is when we sit in those feelings and those thoughts that we are given the opportunity to process and move forward in them and find who we are. Is it just comparison? Is it a different form a grief? Is it all of the above and more?Karega's New Album Legacy Lounge Season 1 "Legacy Talk Only"  is AVAILABLE NOW through EVEN. Keep up  with Karega and Felicia on Instagram: @karegabailey & @fefemonique========Join us for the 2023 Black Love Summit!

  Ding! Ding! Everyone to their corners! Arguing with your partner can be one of the most frustrating things about being in a relationship. We know that trying to communicate your needs to a person who “doesn't seem to be picking up what you're putting down” can lead to something more heated.

How does one process the loss of someone who still had so much more to tell? Of a loss that feels too soon? Karega asks this as he processes the loss of one of his former students from DC, Troy, to gun violence. Troy, like so many of Karega's students, taught Karega just as much as he taught them. There was so much more to them than people were willing to see or understand, but Troy was able to communicate it all through poetry. Poetry that sits with and influences Karega to this day unfortunately now, through his absence. Karega's New Album Legacy Lounge Season 1 "Legacy Talk Only"  is AVAILABLE NOW through EVEN. Keep up  with Karega and Felicia on Instagram: @karegabailey & @fefemonique========Join us for the 2023 Black Love Summit!

We can all agree sex is one of the pillars of a good relationship. When the sex is good, sometimes it can be a distraction, but what if you are using sex to avoid truly connecting with your partner?

EVERYTHING IS PERFECT....A phrase we've all said to ourselves to will us through a situation that is the furthest from perfect.
