Black love is unique, because it can be different from everyone else’s experience. Black love means adapting, to one another and to the spaces you move through together. Black love is a fine balance of showing up and yielding space. It’s being available and present to really hear and support your partner, but it’s also understanding and making space for your partner to grow, change, and deal with existing in this world.
Black love is the ability to love your mate and be unapologetically black while celebrating black excellence. It’s the action of being proud of your heritage, hue, culture and having an unabashed pride along with it. Black love is a special kind of love due to the black experience and comes with its own unique aspects.
Black love is unapologetically loud and proud! We’re at a point in society where there are more positive examples of black love than ever before. It’s empowering! Our ancestors had restraints and restrictions put on how and who they could love. Now its time for us to show thw world tht we can love each other without suffrage.
Join us for interviews, tips, and reading. Are you an author, beginning writer, wannabe writer, or just enjoy learning about authors and previews of upcoming books. This is the place to be. You may be interviewed or asked to share a reading from your book.
About this Event
Through the use of interactive conversation “No Fats, No Femmes, No Blacks: How Your Preferences May Actually Be Prejudice” will explore the magnitude in which the use of microaggressions, ideas about race, gender, sexuality and body politics impacts our behaviors and attitudes when creating dating and sexual “preferences”. It will also explore how these dynamics impede on our ability to view individuals holistically by exploring how these attitudes impact who we deem as desirable and the types of interpersonal behaviors we deem “appropriate” when building platonic, romantic and sexual relationships. Lastly we will also explore ways we can acknowledge and combat microaggressions and build stronger coalitions across communities.
