"Black love is refusing to succumb to what the world says about us because we know the truth about our brilliance. It's a head nod when we see ourselves walking down the street, a supportive "aaaaye!" when the moment requires it, a warm hug when the world is too much, a knowing look that understands what's hidden behind our ambiguous facial expressions, and a joy that is unmatched. Black love is lit. Black love keeps us going when it seems like we shouldn't have any fight left. Black love is revolutionary."
