It’s that time again, family! Black Love, Inc. is back with the fifth season of our hit digital series, “Couch Conversations,” with multi-platinum artist Ace Hood and his wife, author, and wellness founder Shelah Marie! The number five symbolizes freedom, curiosity, and change, which can be interpreted as having the desire to have adventures and explore new possibilities. We’re doing just that as we discuss life and love with brand-new guest couples! Each year, while the faces change, the goal remains the same – to provide a safe space for couples to share their growth moments amongst other couples that understand the need to share their experiences, struggles, and triumphs in navigating the complexities of love and life. From advice on fighting fair, to finances, families, and more the couples don’t hold back, and this year, we’re going deeper with vulnerability, wellness, and how life and love with our hosts Ace & Shelah!
Meet the Hosts
Ace Hood is a recording artist whose multiple hit songs have received hundreds of millions of streams. Shelah Marie is best known for The Curvy, Curly, Conscious movement as well as her new book, Positive You: A Personal Growth Journal for Women. Between having public careers and prioritizing their blended family, they have been intentional about making their relationship work for them and sharing their moments of self-reflection and self-work online to their followers to grow and heal right along with them. Together eight years and married for three, they are committed to sharing their insights and challenges, imparting their personal lessons on building and sustaining a thriving relationship.
What We Love About Them
To know Ace & Shelah is to know their commitment to family, and one another. From Shelah’s transparent conversations on how she supports Ace and is dedicated to their blended family, to Ace openly discussing online how beautiful and cool marriage is despite the narrative that rappers can’t love out loud, their millennial love story is truly the embodiment of Black Love. We couldn’t think of a better couple to discuss topics related to wellness, blending families, navigating the choice of public/private relationships, and so much more that’s in store this season.
