Black Love Podcast Series: What does black love mean to you? Episode #1
Hey Y'all! It's Jamila and you're listening to Butifullyflawed podcasts: Where my mission is to educate teens, young adults and families about human sexuality, building relationships and healthy living. Each month I will be discussing different topics in human sexuality, relationships and healthy living. This month I am focusing on Teen Dating Violence Awareness and What does Black Love mean to you? This is my very first podcast!! This podcast will focus on the characteristics of a healthy relationship, black love day, teen dating violence and what does black love mean to two single young black professionals.
Did y'all know that today, Feb. 13th, is Black Love Day
- Black Love Day was founded in 1993 by Dr. Ayo Handy-Kendi, she is also the founder of the African American Holiday Association. Black Love Day is observed to just demonstrate love for 24 hours, and celebrate and atone, offer forgiveness to ourselves and to others, and to accept the very important tenets. The five tenets are love towards the Creator, love for self, love for the family, love for the black community and love for the black race.
Teen Dating Violence Resources:
- If you know anyone that is involved in a TDV relationship or you are involved in a TDV relationship or you just want to know more information you can call text or visit the National Dating Abuse Helpline. The toll-free number is 1-866-331-9474, text "loveis" to 22522 or visit loveisrespect.org. Another national organization you can check out is Break the Cycle. There are also organizations in Virginia called Virginia Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Action Alliance and the YWCA that offer information, guidance and support. If you want to know more about these organizations, please go check out my Instagram or my Facebook because I will be posting about these organizations throughout the rest of the month. You can also visit their websites. It is so important that we start educating our children, teens and young adults on what a healthy relationship looks like and what the signs of an unhealthy relationship are.
