Black marriages are still rare. Rarer still, are marriages that work. If the rest of society are having a hard time with marriage numbers, then the Black community are really struggling.

This episode is all about those who actually want to get into and stay married. Here are some things I've learned within my own marriage and from watching others.

Topics: marriage, social studies, African American couples, love, Black families

In 2024, I lost my full-time job, which paid me very well. Instead of having a plan B, I lashed out at myself and became angry.

You don't have to be.

Practice being resilient today.

Remember that old TLC song? Reminding us to stick to those spaces in our life that we are used to? Warning us to be cautious?

This particular show is piggybacking off of that. What happens when you veer off the path that's been working for you? It could break your journey to joy.

Topics in this episode: paths, hope, society, self help, joy, TLC, Bible

You have to make a decision. Today. Are you a rooster or a hen? Once you listen to this podcast today, decide, and move forward to your joy. This was in part inspired by a journal prompt and the movie 'Backrooms'

Carl Sagan said "From space there are no national boundaries visible..."

We create those boundaries.

We create those systems.

But what does matter and should it matter to you?

Every so often I like to drop philosophical jewels to juice us up.

Happy Careening to Black Joy!

Last time we talked about creating joy through hobbies. Now you have the tools to reframe your mind to accept a new hobby and how to get started with a hobby for the first time...or first time again! Afterwards for my anime and bookish fans, we're going to discuss this Tamon's B Side situation and a book I read because I was inspired by the anime.

Let's Go!
