006 - Finding Black Love


Listen Later

This episode is all about finding Black Love through the eyes of actress, filmmaker, life coach and app contributor, Tryphena Wade. In her new film, Solomon’s Mood, written by her, Tryphena explores what finding a healthy love in our community could look like.


Tryphena’s explanation of the film really resonated with us and this idea carried the discussion. She said, “Imagine a Black love story where the characters actually choose one another! They’re not bound by shared trauma or because they’re desperate and lonely. They’re not blindly falling into love. Rather they are maturely choosing to wait for the right love. They’re protecting their emotional space and honoring what they desire; what they know is meant for them. Solomon’s Mood is the Black love story that your soul needs.”

Key Takeaways

No more ride-or-die chicks. We shouldn’t have to suffer first to prove our love. Love can be based on passion, connecting with and learning each other and working to bring two worlds into alignment with each other.

Dating in today’s world is hard. Unlike the movie where the characters are intentional and actually take time to get to know each other, swiping right on apps and connecting out of desperation has become the norm.

Happiness is an inside job. You must live a full complete life before even seeking someone to fill your space instead of expecting someone to come along and make you happy.

About Solomon’s Mood

Written by Tryphena Wade and directed by Nicole Moore-Joseph, Solomon’s Mood is the story of two lovers... who are also strangers. Using the ancient, Biblical text of Song of Solomon, these two pen love letters to one another, knowing that the love they want exists, but not knowing when or where they will encounter it. Will their chance encounters be the continuation of their individual love stories?
