Giving Black women their due There are many days on which we honor men, but precious few that recognize women’s contributions. Women’s History Month concluded Tuesday, March 31, but I must share a bit of Mayor Johnny Ford’s work honoring the history of Black women through his organization, the World Conference of Mayors.

Reclaiming marriage in the pews Whenever I say I’ve been married 57 years, I always get this question: “To the same person?”  Yes: Mr. Boulware and I tied the knot when I was 18, and he was 19. Four children, five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren later, my husband and I still like each other. Most days.  Though it’s usually said […]

'For those who don’t ascribe to faith-based marriage instruction, Bishop Michael Smith, who’s been married for 35 years, gives principles of marriage without scripture or verse.' 💍💞🤝🏾
