🎙 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.

🎧 Tune in. Share widely. And most importantly—let’s keep rising, together.
