“Black Love” returns one last time for our series finale tomorrow at 10/9c on OWN and the Black Love+ app presented by our friends at Target. As the co-creator and director of “Black Love,” it is a bittersweet day, but overall, I’m thrilled to close this chapter right now. Fam, let me tell you why!
My husband Tommy and I film every single interview for the Black Love docuseries together, just the two of us and the couple sitting across from us in their home. We intentionally wanted to create an intimate space for these conversations. We didn’t want a large crew or even a production assistant staring at these two vulnerable people potentially creating a distraction or causing insecurity. We fostered a judgment-free zone where we also offered a glimpse into our own strengths and weaknesses and failures and uncertainties as a couple. After seven years and around 250 interviews, we wanted to bow out while y’all still love the product and while we still love doing it.

On the Couch: The Story of Black Love
Today, we run Black Love, Inc. which started with the docuseries you know and love in 2017 and now includes BlackLove.com, the Black Love Summit, the Black Love+ app housing countless digital series about love and relationships, Black Love Podcast Network with seven unique podcasts. Y’all watch the show — we are committed to challenging the way people think about relationships, unconditional love, and self work! To have a successful romantic partnership, we have to be paying attention to how we love ourselves and even our friends, parents, and children. We are your hub for all of it.
As you watch season 6 of Black Love (and then watch “After Love” immediately afterward), we hope you enjoy every second of it and share with a friend. But most of all, we hope you see something that reminds you there is no one way to do this relationship thing. Alignment with yourself and your partner is what matters and that only happens when we lead with love. That sometimes looks like compromise or setting boundaries or being more patient than you thought you could be or just letting go of your lists.
Black Love family, over here, we believe that all of us deserve love. That means YOU! Believe it, claim it, and join us on this journey!
“Black Love” and our official after show “After Love” is now available on OWN and the Black Love+ App to stream all past seasons to relive the memories and learn from all of these amazing couples!
Remember, the show is ending, but Black Love is FOREVER!
