Good morning, Icons,
We are back with empowering data that supports our work here at Iconic.
We are still working on healing with our current medical situation and glad you can join us for the new month of July.
2024 started out with women’s empowerment and then left of with men’s. This next quarters we will focus heavily on data and stories that can give you hope in this marriage and relationship space. Contrary to what those in other spaces will tell you, marriage is still a life hack when done right with the right person.

42 Years of Love: What I learned as the A Beacon of Hope for Marriage Revival in the Black Community
In a world where the longevity of marriages often seems uncertain, celebrating 42 years of unwavering love and commitment is not just a personal milestone but a beacon of hope for the entire community. Today, I honor my parents on their 42nd wedding anniversary, a testament to enduring love, resilience, and the power of unity.
A Legacy of Love
My parents’ journey together began over four decades ago, a time when the world was vastly different. Through the years, they have weathered storms, celebrated triumphs, and built a life rooted in mutual respect and unwavering support. Their love story is not just theirs; it is a legacy that inspires and uplifts everyone around them.
Setting a Precedent for Marriage Revival
In today’s age, where the sanctity of marriage is often questioned, my parents’ enduring relationship sets a powerful precedent. Their commitment to each other serves as a shining example of what is possible when two people dedicate themselves to nurturing their bond. This is especially significant in the Black community, where strong, lasting marriages can play a crucial role in fostering stability and empowerment.
Patriot Awards Fundraising
We are celebrating Freedom and giving away patriot awards this month of July.
At the heart of our values lies the American family – the true backbone of our country. It is within the family that we first learn about love, respect, and the importance of standing together. And it is through our Iconic Marriage Empowerment Business that we strive to strengthen these bonds, offering guidance and support to couples as they build the foundation of a successful marriage.

The Importance of Longevity in Marriage
The significance of a marriage lasting 42 years cannot be overstated. It represents a deep, abiding love that has stood the test of time. In an era where instant gratification often overshadows long-term commitment, my parents’ marriage is a reminder of the beauty and strength that comes from enduring love. Their journey teaches us that true partnership requires patience, understanding, and a willingness to grow together.
A Call to Action
As we celebrate this remarkable milestone, let us take inspiration from my parents’ example. Let their story be a call to action for all of us to invest in our relationships, to cherish our partners, and to strive for the kind of love that lasts a lifetime. By doing so, we can contribute to a revival of strong, enduring marriages within our community, creating a foundation of love and stability for future generations.
Our Culture is one of Family
Successful Iconic marriages is something I know.
Black generational success is something I am familiar with and have been surrounded by throughout my life. Blackness extends beyond our skin color; it embodies our culture. This culture is frequently manifested in our daily achievements and through our strong family bonds.
We often are reminded of our problems in the Black community and not our successes. Today, we celebrate my parents’ success and are grateful for them.
For example, their legacy is six children and spans more marriages and grandchildren. Their loved created me and birthed this organization.
They are the epitome of what it means to be Iconic.
Conclusion
Today, I honor my parents not just for their 42 years of marriage, but for the legacy of love they have created. Their journey is a testament to the power of commitment and the beauty of enduring love. May their story inspire us all to believe in the possibility of lasting love and to work towards building strong, resilient marriages in our own lives.
Happy 42nd Anniversary, Mom and Dad. Your love is a beacon of hope and a source of inspiration for us all.
