Yep. We're doing it. We're having an uncomfortable yet necessary conversation about being black, female, and single. In the 2010 Census, it was reported that 71% of black women have never been married. 71%! This number is telling a story and Yana Jenay is joined by Ekemini Uwan to talk through some of the factors that contribute to this disparity. However, the goal isn't to gripe and moan, but to rather understand the roots of these factors to provide a space for black women to grief, find language for their pain, and consider how their story can find refuge in the pages of Scripture.
P.S. If you are not black, female, or married, please know this episode is also for you. Use it as an opportunity to understand the unique ways your black sisters in Christ are navigating singleness and as a model for how to navigate your unmet desires.
