Marriage Or Naw?

In the season 2 premiere of Church @ The Bar, we dive deep into a pressing question: Why aren’t young Black couples getting married? In a world where love, commitment, and community are central to many, marriage rates among young Black couples have been on the decline. What’s the root cause of this trend, and how does culture, society, and personal aspirations play a role?

Join hosts as they sit down with a diverse group of thought leaders to unpack this complex topic:

• Charles Kellum (Instagram: @thehumanmannequin), a forward-thinking fashion designer known for his unique perspective on culture and identity, brings a fresh take on how societal expectations and personal image influence relationships.
• Sharde Williams (Instagram: @zenmasteress), a yoga instructor and wellness advocate, discusses the importance of mental and emotional alignment in relationships, and how self-love and personal growth can impact one’s decision to marry.
• Reality Childs (Instagram: @realitychilds), a rapper, activist, and storyteller, shares his insights from both his personal experiences and as a voice for the younger generation, speaking on how societal pressures and misconceptions about love shape Black relationships.

Together, they engage in a candid and thought-provoking conversation about love, commitment, and the evolving views of marriage in the Black community. From the influence of pop culture to personal healing and generational shifts, we explore why this issue is more than just a matter of tradition—it’s about identity, autonomy, and the future of Black love.

Tune in to Church @ The Bar for an unfiltered discussion that challenges assumptions, offers new perspectives, and sparks conversation about love, commitment, and marriage in the modern Black experience.
