B&B Honors Black Love

Black Love- A spiritual journey that only people who are rich in melanin can experience. A love that is unconditional. A love that can build an empire. Monogamous and genuine in intent, this love cannot be stopped. -Urban Dictionary

In February we spend the month celebrating our blackness and we also celebrate the day of love. It is only right that today we celebrate both. All month long B&B will be celebrating all things black so why start by celebrating black love. For many years we have lived in a world where black love is attempted to be broken instead of being brought together.Black love should be appreciated and most importantly, represented.
