Transformative Black love is the foundation of thriving communities rooted in resilience, respect, and deep devotion. It strengthens families, builds confident children, and creates lasting legacies.

Over 20 years ago, our family began in NYC with faith, purpose, and a vision. Though told we couldn’t have children, God had other plans, and our family grew through undeniable miracles.

Eight years ago, we moved to Texas with our fifth child, living on a single teacher’s income and facing the realities of how the world views Black skin. A difficult conversation with our teenage son and the viral “I LOVE YOU, BLACK MAN” message sparked the birth of I LUV YOU (BLK): a bold declaration of Black love,
identity, and affirmation.

We learned that raising strong Black children means grounding them in self-acceptance, identity, and pride, creating an unbreakable bond rooted in confidence, respect, and unconditional love.

Welcome to I LUV YOU (BLK).

WE LUV YOU (BLK) FAMILY!
