"Often we make assumptions and decisions in our personal life based on emotions or ideas presented at the time without considering our ultimate goals." In Episode 1 of Healthy Black Love, Dr. Drea encourages listeners to identify and weight their ultimate relationship goal before making decisions that could harm or end their bond with a new love interest, partner, or spouse. She defines settling and clarifies the differences between wants, needs, and non-negotiables in a romantic relationship. She also discusses considerations for who to take advice from and how systemic racism can impact how Black people show up in dating and marriage.
