"Love is a combination of care, commitment, knowledge, responsibility, respect and trust." ~ bell hooks "Societies never know it, but the war of an artist with his society is a lover's war, and he does, at his best, what lovers do, which is to reveal the beloved to himself and, with that revelation, to make freedom real." ~ James Baldwin Our union turns 9 today! The past year has been full of joy and growing pains. The challenges with our identity struggles are parallel with our ongoing loverās war. But gratefully the challenges bring us closer to the liberation we seek and need to be our highest and best selves. I revel in the growing pains because that is the space where we will find, stretch, and sustain real love and partnership. I celebrate our joy as I celebrate our growing pains. Thank you, Kennedy, for the joy of giving life and raising our son together and for the growing pains of what it takes to sustain the essence of love: the consistent combination of care, commitment, knowledge, responsibility, respect, trust (and then some). Thankfully we centralize and work at the love (passion and friendship) and we pray. What a time weāve had in 9 years and what a time we have to come! Happy 9th Anniversary, Big Dili⦠cheers to more US! #LoveJoy #LovePain #LoveGrowth #BlackMagicLove #BabyRaisingLove # #StillMarriedAF #August2nd #MarriageAnniversary #OurLoveIsNine #TheEkenes #OgunjobiEkeneGang #aYorubaIgboLoveStory #aNigerianAmericanLoveStory #MadeInSenegal #ElevatedLove #NigerianLove #BlackLove #OurLove #LoveIsJoy #LoveIsABattle #LoveIsAWar #LoveIsGrowingUp #LoveIsUs #LoveIsPartnership #LoveIsCoparenting @coach_kennedi https://www.instagram.com/p/CgxM5fMAc4M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
