You’re Not the Problem. But You Are the Turning Point

You’ve probably seen the think pieces: “What’s wrong with millennial Black singles?” Too picky, too damaged, too independent, too… something. Let’s flip that. You’re the first generation to grow up watching both: the quiet suffering of some longterm marriages and the chaos of modern dating apps. You inherited trauma with no handbook, then got dropped into a world of infinite swipes. We agree with the advice that says, “Build your own life, don’t wait to be chosen.” We agree that your time matters. But if you’re a serious Black professional, here’s the layer you can’t ignore: Your partner is not a plusone. They’re either fertilizer for your destiny—or weed poison in your soil. So the real question isn’t, “What’s wrong with millennial Black singles?” It’s, “Will this be the generation that finally treats partner selection as a strategic decision?” That’s why we built the Relationship Readiness Masterclass, the Matchmaking Readiness Audit, and the 1,000 Couples Challenge. Not to shame you into marriage. To give you a framework so that when you do choose, you choose well—on purpose, for the long run.
