Black Love has been the celebrated chant for black celebrity relationships like Will and Jada Smith, Magic and Cookie Johnson, Denzel and Pauletta Washington, and the former epitome of black love Bill and Camille Cosby and Ruby Dee and Ozzie Davis (RIP to them both). Even the odd ones like Oprah Winfrey and Stedman are highlighted as 'relationship goals" for black women and some black men. The Black Church has used marriage as the key to community development and sustentation but has done little to provide support as some openly advocate against traditional family identity and values.

When you fall in love with a professional athlete, you sign up for a life in the spotlight. But when the love of your life is super-star basketball legend, Earvin Magic Johnson, the light in which you stand is brighter than anyone could ever imagine. Cookie Johnson, mother, devoted philanthropist, passionate spokesperson and NY Times Best-selling author, thought she knew exactly what she was in for when she married her college sweetheart, Magic Johnson. With the guidance of her faith, family and friends and the counsel of the other “basketball wives” Cookie found herself settling into her new life as one of the most well-known, first ladies of the NBA.
