What Page You On? Episode 4 We dive into the challenges that black millennials are facing when it comes to relationships. Black men and Women have both been affected by systemic oppression and racism. Without getting into a oppression race, we have to understand how we’ve been affected and what the solutions to bridging the gap are.
