"Romance is about the possibility of the thing. You see, it's about the time between when you first meet the woman, and when you first make love to her; When you first ask a woman to marry you, and when she says I do. When people who been together a long time say that the romance is gone, what they're really saying is they've exhausted the possibility." 

Hey well-read baddies! This week, we're back with another #Black365 minisode and are joined by Tembe Denton Hurst (@tembae)—writer, author, and biscuit connoisseur. She's the brilliant mind behind Homebodies, a novel that perfectly captures the burnout, disillusionment, and existential mess that comes with being a young Black woman just trying to make it. We dive into the realities of losing yourself in your career, what happens when the “work twice as hard” rulebook stops working, and why home isn't just a place—it's context. Plus, we get the inside scoop on her next book, which she describes as Love Jones meets Sex and the City.

Ever feel like society's constantly giving you the side-eye for being happily single? This episode of The NEXT Best Thing Podcast we're chatting with Dr. Kris Marsh from the University of Maryland, whose book The Love Jones Cohort is shaking up everything we thought we knew about relationships. Dr. Marsh introduces us to a growing group of college-educated, financially comfortable single Black Americans who are absolutely thriving without wedding rings. Named after that classic 1997 film (you know the one!), these folks are rewriting the rules of success and happiness."But aren't single people just... waiting to find someone?" Not according to Dr. Marsh's research! She breaks down how those strong friendships in your life might actually be delivering more happiness than that relationship you think you're supposed to be chasing.We get real about whether marriage still holds the same value it once did (spoiler alert: it's complicated), and why your net worth might matter more than your paycheck when it comes to being "middle class" today.The most refreshing part? Dr. Marsh's take on friendship. While everyone else is swiping right and stressing about dating, she's got the data showing how those ride-or-die friends might be the real MVPs in your happiness story. If you've ever felt that pressure to couple up just because everyone keeps asking "so, are you seeing anyone?" at family gatherings, this episode will feel like someone finally gets it. Dr. Marsh doesn't just understand—she's got the research to back up why your life choices are completely valid.Sign Up for The NEXT Best Thing Community: https://rewritecourse.com/communitySubscribe to the NEXT Nuggets Newsletter: https://thenextbestthingact.com/Follow The NEXT Best Thing on IG @nextbestthingpodStay in touch with Dr. Kris Marsh:Get The Love Jones Cohort: https://www.amazon.com/Cohort-Cambridge-Studies-Stratification-Economics/dp/1316612910IG: https://www.instagram.com/drkrismarsh/Bio: https://socy.umd.edu/facultyprofile/marsh/kris

Juice (1992) Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review! Greg Alba and Coy Jandreau dive into Juice, the 1992 crime thriller directed by Ernest R. Dickerson. This film captures the raw energy of Harlem through the lives of four teenagers—Q (Omar Epps, Love & Basketball, Higher Learning), Bishop (Tupac Shakur, Poetic Justice, Above the Rim), Raheem (Khalil Kain, Love Jones, Girlfriends), and Steel (Jermaine Hopkins, Lean on Me, Phat Beach)—as they grapple with friendship, loyalty, and the dangerous pursuit of respect, or "juice." The film's iconic moments include the tense convenience store robbery that sets the plot in motion, Bishop's chilling descent into violence and power obsession, and Q's internal conflict between his DJ dreams and his loyalty to his friends. With unforgettable lines like Bishop's cold declaration, “I am crazy... but you know what else? I don't give a f**,”* the film delivers a deep exploration of power, control, and identity. Supporting cast members include Cindy Herron (En Vogue, Witch Hunt) as Yolanda, Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction, The Avengers) as Trip, and Queen Latifah (Chicago, Living Single) as Ruffhouse M.C. Juice remains a cornerstone in hip-hop cinema, blending gritty storytelling with a cultural backdrop that highlights the pressures of inner-city life. Tupac Shakur's breakout performance in the film only cemented his legacy, both as an actor and as a voice of his generation. To celebrate Tupac's influence, here are some of his most iconic songs: “California Love,” “Changes,” “Hit ‘Em Up,” “Dear Mama,” “Hail Mary,” “Keep Ya Head Up,” “2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted,” “Ambitionz Az a Ridah,” “Me Against the World,” and “I Ain't Mad at Cha.” Follow Coy Jandreau:  Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@coyjandreau?l...

This week on Black on Black Cinema, the guys return to discuss the 1997 film, "Love Jones" starring Larenz Tate, Nia Long, Bill Bellamy, and Isaiah Washington. The film follows Darius Lovehall, a young black poet in Chicago, who starts dating Nina Mosley, a beautiful and talented photographer. While trying to figure out if they've got a "love thing" or are just "kicking it," they hang out with their friend, talking about love and sex. Then Nina tests the strength of Darius' feelings and sets a chain of romantic complications into motion.

This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew returns to announce the next film to be reviewed, "Love Jones." The film follows Darius Lovehall a young black poet in Chicago who starts dating Nina Mosley, a beautiful and talented photographer. While trying to figure out if they've got a "love thing" or are just "kicking it," they hang out with their friend, talking about love and sex. Then Nina tests the strength of Darius' feelings and sets a chain of romantic complications into motion. The random topic of the week is all about our thoughts on the election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. What we think the decision to put a known racist, sexist, abuser, and convicted criminal back to the highest office in the land. What fundamental lessons can be learned from this election, and diagnosing what The United States really and a large portion of its electorate really believes about equality of the races and sexes.

The premise of this C.L.I.P.S. installment is to take a look the UnPrisoned character "Mal" with the respect to our community's penchant to outright lionize strong Black leads like James St. Patrick (I said Sinclair), Franklin Saint, Nino Brown, Menace's O-Dog or Sugar Hill's Romello. Or maybe we laughed way too hard at Boomerang's Marcus while in our head replaying some of our own "doggish footage" from years ago. Are we, as Black men, too far gone to pay any attention to the love lessons learned by Darius Lovehall, or even Savon Garrison, in 1997's Love Jones? Big discussion to have, but Wood wastes some time looking closer at the example of Marque Richardson's "Mal" through two seasons of UnPrisoned. Wood couldn't think of the right word that many of us struggle with as young men, but the best of us succumb to an insatiable appetite for sexual exploits with women - and many a "bills" have come due for such decisions.

In this episode, Shanté and Danny crack open one of their new Criterions to talk about a underseen modern classic.

All In Entertainment Group ,Well Known , Song SpeakReady for an AWESOME NEW Timeless Eclectic Music DuoThey were on separate paths and things just weren't coming together. The music wasn't hittin' like they both believed it could. B3E (aka Evan Bendel) was about to walk out the door on music and leave it behind, getting on a new path and preparing for a new career in law enforcement. But the opportunity to continue to do what he loves and clearly was born to do happened when they teamed up. While Evan has always been called “Bee” because of his last name, he flipped this 3rd time's a charm destiny moment, put it in his name and invested his supreme vocals into this new iteration of his skills. The story for JOANZ (aka Kenzell Jones), who was just stepping into the game–finding his voice and trying to find his focus and his fire–is that he's a wordsmith who grabbed his moniker from the motion picture “Love Jones” as a play on his musicality. That also includes his ability to play several instruments (bass, guitar, drums and saxophone). JOANZ had lyrics and needed something else, a voice that could punch up and push back on his verses with lyrics that helped the music catch fire. As fate would have it, a mutual friend introduced the duo, thinking it was for one song, one time only. But their convergence brought magic, just the magic that they both needed to forge ahead, so 2 solo artists put ego and pride aside and let the music ride. “We got into the studio and it was on and poppin' since then.” The song that brought the duo together hasn't even been released, but it did its job in bringing together these 2 talents to make music and set their sights on stardomInspired by everyone from Al Green, Michael Jackson, Commodores, Bee Gees, Earth, Wind & Fire and Sam Cooke to Roger Troutman, OutKast, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne, with both artists heavily influenced by Michael Jackson, these young music makers know what a great duo can do when they put their minds and their melodies to work! With a sound and solid respect for music that covers genres and generations, B3E sings for his soul while Joanz spits lyrics that include a Luther Vandross reference on “IN MY EAR,” while “NO BREAKS” pays homage to Bobby Brown's “Every Little Step,” but with a spin on it that talks about needing to take a step back and away.JOANZ + B3E is a new era in music! The familiar meets the ferocious!The melodic “SONG SPEAK” is sinewy and sensual, but from a man's perspective, it is unexpectedly vulnerable while playfully paying tribute to Aaliyah's “Rock The Boat,” showcasing the vocal skills of B3E and the floetry of JOANZ. The opposite is true of “WELL KNOWN,” with the hook “I ain't really with the handouts and I don't wanna fit in I'd rather stand out!” It's a declaration that tells you that they didn't come into the game to just have material success. They use vocals and verses to talk about hard work, commitment to their art and their audacity in believing that it's their time! “N***s ain't been where I be, seen what I seen. (Now they) all on me (like they) all know me.” Audacity goes to another level with “NOTICE ME,” their newest joint, telling the story of working hard as a young father (B3E) and a young cat with something to prove to the streets and to him. “It's just me, I ain't have a Plan B!” © 2024 All Rights Reserved© 2024  Building Abundant Success!!Join Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

On this episode we have our special guest AJ McQueen. I ask him about growing up in St. Louis, mental health, relationships, his inner child, therapy and what does self care mean to him. The episode was really great and he dropped so many gems that people would be able to take away when it comes to how to show up for themselves, be confident and give themselves grace.

In this week's episode, Boonie is joined by the homie Shika! We do a sh*t that hits different episode featuring the classic Love Jones. We express our disappointment with the movie, discussing how it lacks the drama we were hoping for. We even mention the poetry snap era and how we're glad we didn't experience it. Later in the discussion, we explain the shift in our mindset towards relationships as we've grown older, becoming more cautious and less excited. We take responsibility for being comfortable in our own space and admitting that actively dating is not a priority. Despite not fitting the conventional mold, we maintain hope for the future but are not currently focused on dating.  A transcript of the full episode is available here.

Hey lady! When it comes to your love life is it giving Love Jones or is it more like Never Been Kissed? Either way, hopefully by now you've found a way to laugh at yourself a little as you navigate through it. This week, Terri and Dr. Dom welcome Sadia Azmat, comedian and author of Sex Bomb, to come and discuss how the highs and lows she's experienced in dating have given her a wealth of information about people and life. Not everyone is lucky in love, but that doesn't mean that life can't be richly rewarding, fun, and delicious. Sadia offers sage wisdom on why shifting your perspective can be a guiding light, and why being honest about your motivations for some of your romantic decisions can be a healing salve on your journey. If your love life doesn't quite look like you may have imagined, tune into the episode for inspiration on how to keep yourself uplifted as you write the greatest love story of all – your own!Quote of the Day:“Both sexual liberation and faith are not measurable by sight or anyone other than the person who beholds it.”– Sadia AzmatWhere to find Sadia Azmat:Website: Sadia AzmatBook: Sex BombIG: @sadia_azmats Register here for the Vibrate Higher Empowerment Workshop!

Join the crew as we jump back into Black filmography with a look at the 90s classic Romcom Love Jones.  Intro & Outro Music by Magiksolo from Pixabay   

Drawing from stratification economics, intersectionality, and respectability politics, Kris Marsh's The Love Jones Cohort: Single and Living Alone in the Black Middle Class (Cambridge UP, 2023) centers on the voices and lifestyles of members of the Black middle class who are single and living alone (SALA). While much has been written about both the Black middle class and the rise of singlehood, this book represents a first foray into bridging these two concepts. In studying these intersections, The Love Jones Cohort provides a more nuanced understanding of how race, gender, and class, coupled with social structures, shape five central lifestyle factors of Black middle-class adults who are SALA. The book explores how these Black adults define family and friends and decide on whether and how to pursue romantic relationships, articulate the ebbs and flows of being Black and middle class, select where to live and why, accumulate and disseminate wealth, and maintain overall health, well-being, and coping mechanisms.

From ChatGPT: Bill Bellamy, also known as the "love doctor," is a comedian, actor, and author who's been making audiences laugh for decades. He's starred in hit movies like "Love Jones" and "How to Be a Player," but his true claim to fame is his smooth-talking, ladies' man persona. When he's not busy dispensing relationship advice, Bill can be found hitting the comedy club circuit or working on his latest book, "How to Charm Your Way Out of a Traffic Ticket." He's also an expert in all things hip-hop, and can drop a sick beat at a moment's notice. In his free time, Bill enjoys long walks on the beach (preferably with a beautiful woman by his side), playing basketball (as long as he wins), and cooking up a storm in the kitchen (as long as someone else does the dishes). He's the ultimate renaissance man, and we're thrilled to have had him on our podcast this morning.

Nobody likes to think about what happens to their bodies after they die, but it's an important decision. A bill expected to see House vote in Springfield this week would give Illinoisans a new environmentally friendly option: natural organic reduction, also known as “human composting.” Chicago state Rep. Kelly Cassidy is sponsoring the bill and tells producer Simone Alicea about how it works and why she put it in her own will. Some news: llinois lawmakers have until July 1 to draw a new district map for Chicago's forthcoming elected school board. Offer public comment by drawing your very own map for consideration. Lineups for Lollapalooza and Pitchfork are out now. Check out "The Love Jones Experience" at the Quarry Event Center in South Shore tomorrow night, and go back to listen to our episode about why "Love Jones" belongs in rom-com canon.

For decades, there has been a stigma attached to remaining unmarried and childless in the Black community, particularly for women. But a growing part of the Black middle class is single, childfree adults. Does the trend threaten the future of the Black family, or is it time to recognize a different model for family life? On today's episode of A Word, Jason Johnson is joined by sociologist Kris Marsh, author of “The Love Jones Cohort: Single and Living Alone in the Black Middle Class.” Guest: Kris Marsh, University of Maryland Sociology Professor and author of “The Love Jones Cohort: Single and Living Alone in the Black Middle Class.” Podcast production by Ahiyana Angel You can skip all the ads in A Word by joining Slate Plus.

We are back with another edition of Re:VIEWS, where we rewatch and break down some classic Chicago films. In the spirit of Valentine's Day, we are enjoying the 1997 romantic comedy “Love Jones” starring Larenz Tate and Nia Long. Between the poetic plot, amazing soundtrack, and cast's impeccable on-screen chemistry, it is without a doubt one of Chicago's smoothest romance movies. Host Jacoby Cochran, producer Simone Alicea, and teacher and “Love Jones” expert Zephanie Battle talk about some their favorite scenes and argue why the film is so much more than a “Black Classic,” but a Classic, period!  Vote for City Cast Chicago as best podcast and Hey Chicago as best newsletter in the Chicago Reader's Best of Chicago under the City Life category.
