Did You Know Why So Many of Us Struggle With Marriage and Family?
Did you know Black families were intentionally broken up during slavery—husbands, wives, and children sold like property? That was the foundation.
Did you know that after slavery, systems like Jim Crow, redlining, and mass incarceration were put in place to keep us struggling and divided?
Did you know the government created welfare programs that punished Black families for having both parents in the home? Mothers were often told they couldn’t get help if a man lived in the house.
Did you know the war on drugs locked up millions of Black men—fathers, brothers, husbands—leaving entire communities without male leadership?
Did you know that pain and survival mode got passed down through generations, making broken homes feel normal?
Did you know Western culture started pushing individualism—telling us to focus on money, clout, and self over family?
Did you know modern feminism told women they didn’t need men at all—just careers, independence, and freedom—without showing how that mindset could impact our families long term?
Did you know none of this was by accident? Systems were designed to break the Black family apart—because a united family is a powerful thing.
Did you know healing starts when we understand the game, reclaim our values, and start building strong families—on our own terms?
