pride, strength, and courage together.
A Legacy Lives On
As stated before, love is love. You can’t help who you love or where that love will come from, whether they’re of the same race or not.
However, there is something to the point of allowing your legacy to live on. A legacy is more than wealth, status, or passed-down emblems.
A legacy of experiences, heritage, and pride is just as important. Passing down a legacy of tradition from generation to generation is engrained in the Black community and shines even brighter with Black love.
The Reflection Moves Others
The strength of love is contagious. Black love is even more infectious, and seeing it uplifts others to seek the same. Prominent figures like Barack and Michelle Obama reflect not only Black love but it does the important job of mirroring to the world what Black couples hold most valuable to them: Respect, friendship, kindness, trust, support, and strength.
Making moves together and taking pride in this kind of love is something magical and just might give encouragement to another that finding and keeping Black love is possible.
