Real Couples Speak Up and Out!
Single Authors Embrace Marriage!
Don't Settle for Lies and Half-truths about Black Marriage
If you watched the recent special on ABC's Nightline examining "Why so many Black women are single," you might have walked away feeling as if Black Marriage and committed relationships were a dying breed. We took this discussion to the next level on the Black Authors Network Radio Show! We brought in 10 authors who have written on the dynamics of family
relationships, marriages, divorce and dating.
Featured Author Experts:
Poet Nakia R. Laushaul (Write Some Cents Into It Presenter); Nanette Buchanan (Bruised
Love); Cheryl Lacey Donovan and Keith Donovan (Do You Still Do?); Paulette Harper (That
Was Then, This Is Now); Kym Fisher and Harold Fisher (WriteHand Assistant); T.S. Jones
(Everything But The Ring?); Arnita Fields (And the Beat Goes On, Poems from a Restored
Marriage); Jahzara (The Diva's Dating Assessment Tool: Girl, PLEASE!)
Do You Still Do?
Happily ever after can only occur if two individuals are or become healthy on all levels; healthy
enough to love unconditionally, healthy enough to be complete in their own right and healthy
enough to to trust God in all things including marriage.
Do You Still Do? Is an insightful look into the realities of marriage. The book will equip couples with the attitudes, principles, and skills they need. Take this journey with us into the "Never Never Land" of Happily Ever After as we seek to demystify the fairy tales of the wicked witch and defy the oncoming attacks of the Big Bad Wolf. Happily Ever after can happen if you stop wishing upon a star and begin instead to look to God for your perfect ending.
· Showcase of Authors Discussing How We Love-Part 1
· Parenting with Purpose Panel Discussion
· Is the Black Marriage Dead or Diseased? Panel Discussion
