In this episode, Tennesha Wood, dating coach, matchmaker, podcast host, and my good friend, joins me to talk about the correlation between mass incarceration and other racially driven legal decisions that have contributed to the decline in Black marriage in America. We also talk about the importance of black families, how representation matters, and how the murder of George Floyd along with the increased racial tension and divide in America has impacted interracial relationships as well.
