Marry Before You Carry

Marry Before You Carry

Listen in as Joe Dilla (JD) and myself (Bazz) - speak on the subject of "Marry Before You Carry"

The data doesn't lie...

Over the last few decades, marriage has been a declining institution among all Americans and this decline is even more evident in the Black community. In 2019 only 30% of African Americans were married compared to 48% of all Americans. Half or 50% of African Americans have never been married compared to 34% of all Americans.

Currently, 74% of black women are having babies out of wedlock.

In 2020, there were about 4.25 million Black families in the United States with a single mother. This is an increase from 1990 levels when there were about 3.4 million Black families with a single mother.
