This is beautiful. I love to see positive images of black people who are married and successful and have careers and families and live wonderful lives. Most people don’t believe that this is a reality and that black people don’t live dynamic lives. But yes, black people do live amazing lives, black people do amazing things, and yes, black people do get married, have kids, and live healthy lives and have healthy relationships.
