READ THIS‼️💯
♥️I created this chart for a male client of mine who insisted that the majority of Black men in America are married and also married to Black women.
His original question to me was about wealth, finance, resources, and legacy, and I asked him a very simple question:
“Do you ever plan on getting married?”
He had never been married and felt like he could build substantial wealth without marriage or family structure being part of the equation.
During our conversation, he brought up the statistic: “85% of Black men marry Black women.”
What he did not initially understand is that only about 36% of Black American men are currently married at all.
So the statistic is not saying that 85% of all Black American men are married to Black American women. It is saying that OF THE MEN WHO ARE MARRIED, most are married to Black women.
That is a completely different conversation.
I told him, if I were taught then what I know now, my perspective on marriage, family structure, and legacy would have been even more intentional.
Although I was married young, I understand at a much deeper level the power of family structure, pooled resources, inheritance, emotional stability, and long-term legacy building.
That understanding is one of the reasons I am deeply invested in making sure my children marry well.
I even have stipulations in my will and trust that if they marry outside of certain parameters I have established to protect what I built for them, they do not receive their inheritance.
I am dead serious about legacy.
The larger issue is that most Black men and Black women are not married at all.
That has consequences.
Strong families historically create:
• wealth retention
• resource pooling
• inheritance
• stability
• community protection
• stronger outcomes for children
• long-term influence
My question is:
What do we do to fix
How do we come back together in a healthier way so we can build strong families, wealth, legacy, and resources again?
