Love Her Fiercely Presents
Women of Celebration: The State of Black Marriages From 'I do' to 'Shacking up' Panel Discussion

Love Her Fiercely will be hosting a panel discussion on the present state of black marriage in America. We will explore the benefits of getting married, emotional benefits, "shacking up", and the meaning of marriage, the image of the new black couple and the historical context of getting married in the African American community. We will have multiple professionals and representatives from George Mason University on the panel.
