Circle of Sisters (COS), the largest expo for women of color in New York City, hosted an enlightening panel discussion on love and relationships on Saturday, October 17, 2015 from 3:30 to 4:30 PM. The expo at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, presented by AARP, in association with COBA and AT&T, produced and hosted by WBLS-FM, HOT 97, WLIB – AM and Emmis Communications, brought together a very interesting panel of celebs for an open and honest discussion on love and relationships.
The panel included:
- R & B singer/songwriter Avant
- Family Time actress Angell Conwell
- Family Time actor Omar Gooding
- Award-winning duo Kindred the Family Soul, married couple Fatin Dantzler and Aja Graydon
- Former Basketball Wives Miami and most recently LA star Tami Roman and real life fiancé Reggie Youngblood who stars with Tami on Marriage Boot Camp
In the Special Events Hall, Love and Relationship Panel Moderator WBLS’ Lenny Green asked the few hundred people assembled to clap their hands if they were in a relationship. Sadly, about ten people clapped. When he asked those to clap, if they were not in a relationship, hundreds of woman clapped.
We have all heard, time and time again, from multiple sources that about 70% of black women are single, and 42% are unmarried. COS wants to know, is it the destiny of Black woman to remain single or can she find love and happiness. Check out 10 things woman can do, according to the panel discussion, to increase their chances of finding and keeping true love:
1. Don’t have a physical relationship too early.

2. A man only deserves a wife when he asks for one, in others words, don’t give all the benefits of a wife until you are the wife.
3. Be willing to talk things out, even if it takes all night.
4. Know the difference, are you in a Relationship or a Situationship? In healthy relationships there are two people who connect and support each other for the long run.
5. You must always respect yourself and your partner; and allow the man to be a man.
6. There must be a connection on many levels, not merely a sexual one. You don’t have to agree on everything but be willing to agree to disagree and compromise.
7. If it doesn’t feel right between you and your partner, it probably isn’t.
8. You don’t need to go out looking for love, work on yourself first and love will find you.
9. Men are not mind readers, be honest and openly communicative.
10. Learn to truly enjoy your own company first, if you don’t enjoy your own company, why should someone else?
Nice. Still applies to those who are in relationships.
I totally agree.
