Love & The Media: I Love You but I’m Not In Love with You
Not too long ago, I wrote a Love & the Media article on how fairy tales may have intensified unrealistic expectations in dating and marriage by perpetuating the “Prince Charming” standard.

Adrienne + Roger: {Harlem Renaissance} E-Session
Love is a song. It is a consonance of melodies stretching forth from the heart towards the heavens.

Recent Study Finds Interracial Marriages in the United States at All-Time High
