Listen in as I share my personal experiences and engage in a profound conversation with Dr. Jeannelle Perkins-Muhammad on the intricacies of Black intimacy and relationships. Together, we unravel the layers of emotional intelligence, cultural conditioning, and personal experiences that shape our interactions with our partners.

Have you ever wondered how your beliefs affect your relationships? Together with Dr. Jeannelle, we probe into the deeply ingrained teachings of Christianity within the black community and their impact on how we perceive and handle intimacy. We also delve into the historical echoes of slavery that still hinder our ability to foster healthy relationships today and explore how understanding our commitment levels can lead us to more fulfilling relationships. Finally, we dissect the pressing issue of mental health within our communities and its connection to our relationships.
