🎙 Season 4: Episode 2- Title: "The Marriage Decline in Black America: A Call to Action"

We invite you to join in and listen to In-Depth conversations regarding how Black marriages are in crisis—let’s talk about it, heal it, and rise together. 🎙️

In this eye-opening episode of Black Families Rising, hosts Grinder "The Strong Dad" Spencer and Jasa Love dive deep into one of the most urgent issues impacting our community today—the alarming decline of marriage rates among Black Americans. With only 38% currently married and projections looking even grimmer, this isn't just a statistic—it's a wake-up call!

💬 From economic hardship and mass incarceration to shifting cultural norms and gender disparities, Grinder and Jasa unpack the complex layers behind this trend. More than just diagnosing the problem, they offer real solutions—economic empowerment, therapy, mentorship, and policy change—to help rebuild the foundation of Black love, partnership, and generational strength.

🔥 Whether you’re single, married, or somewhere in between, this episode is a must-listen. Join us for an honest conversation, a powerful call to action, and a reminder that strong Black families are the key to strong Black communities.

We invite you to join in and listen to In-Depth conversations regarding the critical difference between health and wellness—and why understanding this distinction is essential for Black families.

Season 4: Episode 1 -Title: A Thin Line Between Health and Wellness

In this episode of Black Families Rising, hosts Grinder "The Strong Dad" Spencer & JASA LOVE dives deep into the critical difference between health and wellness—and why understanding this distinction is essential for Black families.

Health is what your doctor measures—your blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight. But wellness is bigger—it’s your mental clarity, emotional stability, and spiritual grounding. The truth is, you can be “healthy” without truly being well.

So how do we bridge the gap? How do we ensure we’re not just surviving but thriving? In this powerful conversation, we break it down:
✅ The importance of education and advocacy in our health journeys.
✅ Why mental and emotional wellness must be normalized in our communities.
✅ The role of community and support systems in achieving true well-being.

Our health is the foundation, but wellness is the goal—and together, they empower us to live longer, stronger, and with purpose.

🎧 Tune in now, and let’s rise together—mind, body, and soul!

📢 Join the Conversation: What’s one step you’re taking toward BOTH health and wellness? Share your thoughts and tag us on social media!
