The single years are quite a journey that every person regardless of relationship status has to embark on. For us black women, it seems next to impossible to find a mate based on recent statistics. But our singles years do not have to be filled with hopelessness just because we may not have a significant other. Join us in Episode 27 as we discuss ways for us single ladies (myself included) to navigate and maximize our season of singleness in order to prepare ourselves for potential romantic partnerships and possibly, marriage in the future.
