He Noticed My Freckle | Sonequa & Kenric | Black Love Doc

Social media impacts our perceptions of true love, what it should look like and what’s real and what isn’t.

“Only fate can determine whether a relationship was meant to be. So, if you let someone go, they will come back if that's your destiny.” ✨

Most of us have experienced grief or will in our lifetime. And there's no one way to go through it. Kenric & Sonequa we're hit hard with grief and loss in 2021 and on #BlackLoveDoc details how they navigated their feelings while supporting and giving space (and grace) to one another🖤

Price tags 🏷 shouldn’t matter as much as the level of thoughtfulness, care, and effort behind the gift ✨

“The grass is greener where you water it!” Tell it, @ericbellinger ❤️‍🔥✨

If you’re looking for a sign to stop blocking your own blessings when it comes to love, this message from Remy Ma is it! 🎯

Over 6 years and 6 seasons, through 100+ couples (and 200+ interviews), we created #BlackLoveDoc to celebrate Black love stories and show something different than what the media told us. We are capable and worthy of love, fam. And - with work - we can thrive in long-lasting relationships 🖤
