People are individuals, with individual needs and wants. When you can be real and you are willing to communicate and compromise with a special someone that you feel are on the same vibration and frequency, then a relationship, a partnership can be. and last...

Wonderful cast! It is true about the baggage to bring along in relationships. Being aware of it is the first step in eliminating the baggage. Thank you for this!

Shld neva judge 1 for there past negative experiences for wi have all been affected sum way, shape or form! Injured in childhood psychological cycle carried into adult phases and circumstances has led & conditioned us to think that wi have ...control over others lives beside our own! Most of lifes purpose is to carry us thru the journey of having self awareness so that wi may come 2 know & accept others for the very same existence!! Peace Luv and Light!!

I am so completely overwhelmed to be apart of this project! The commentary of this series is such a necessary component to the healing of black love and relationships. It starts with the conversation, communication, and the presentation of openness and vulnerability..which you have done sooooo well!!! Bravo to you Joshua Bee Alafia and all parties involved for stepping up to the plate to want to to be apart of a solution. "Lets Stay Together" family!!!!!!!

...I liken it to the 'Black in America' series on HBO and find it to be equally vital to furthering dialogue and expanding perspectives.

One Love, and keep 'em coming, brotha!
