Today we get a special episode with a woman I affectionately call “the Love Guru”- Ms Kanu Jacobsen, host of Real Love Real Stories podcast and the creator of the new Black Woman’s Advantage ecourse. 

Kanu’s journey begins in the motherland with a family who valued love and education. Upon moving to the States, Kanu’s journey with love began. From marriage to failed online dating attempts, Kanu was ready to throw in the towel, until…..

Her people watching turned into a podcast! She gained the courage to capture the love stories of people she saw in coffee shops, and learned a few things that gave her the HOPE to keep love in sight!
