We Black 365 ’round here, but we’re unapologetically extra Black this month. As we celebrate Black History Month this year we’re grateful for our past and honoring duos making Black history right now. Black Love’s “Dynamic Duos” recognizes siblings, friends, and couples that are making Black history NOW. From photographers, choreographers, and authors, these duos sit down to tell the world who they are and how they are building together.
This month we’ll be launching videos each week on Black love’s profiles highlighting duos doing their thing in the name of Black Love. To kick off the campaign sponsored by Target, we’re highlighting Dynamic Duos that can be found on Target shelves and on Target.com! Learn about these duos and remember to shop Black-owned!

Inspired by their son in December 2019, they launched Young King Hair Care and have reshaped the beauty industry by creating unique offerings for their son and the next generation of Black and Brown men!
