Hey Group Chat!

It’s time for part two on our Group Chat Update!

Did you know that more than 70% of Black Women in the United States today are unmarried? This week’s Black Girl Doing Sh*t is Dianne M. Stewart, an associate professor of religion and African-American studies at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga., who has done an extensive research on why this is true for black women today. She extensively researched how four centuries of laws, policies, and customs have contributed to this statistic. The result? Her book, released last October, Black Women, Black Love: America’s War On African American Marriage, which reveals how white supremacy has systematically broken the heart of Black America for centuries.

This episode is a deep dive into what has impacted the black community through the years, and how the history of forbidden black love and how all these factors have affected the deepest part laces of black individuals like intimacy, love, marriage, black women’s independence and a hopeful look onto what can be done individually to make it better, to have a way to bring justice into relationships and life and the future generations to come.
