Black Single Female Mar 16, 2022

Show notes

Yep. We're doing it. We're having an uncomfortable yet necessary conversation about being black, female, and single. In the 2010 Census, it was reported that 71% of black women have never been married. 71%! This number is telling a story and Yana Jenay is joined by Ekemini Uwan to talk through some of the factors that contribute to this disparity. However, the goal isn't to gripe and moan, but to rather understand the roots of these factors to provide a space for black women to grief, find language for their pain, and consider how their story can find refuge in the pages of Scripture.

P.S. If you are not black, female, or married, please know this episode is also for you. Use it as an opportunity to understand the unique ways your black sisters in Christ are navigating singleness and as a model for how to navigate your unmet desires.

Singleness and Homeownership Feb 09, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, Yana Jenay shares her journey to homeownership and the conversation she had with real estate agent and investor, Erika Brown, that helped jump start the process. If you ever thought that homeownership was out of reach for you, in this episode, Erika shares how you can make homeownership a reality by sharing her story and sharing a few tricks of the trade. She also talks about how she is using real estate as a means to solve problems in her community. Sis is buying back the block, providing jobs and affordable housing for folks in her community.
Whether or not real estate is something you're interested in, this is a great conversation for singles (and marrieds) to consider how God is calling them to use their talents, time, and treasure to solve problems in their community. Let's not be like that one guy who took his talent and hid it. Let's seek to multiply it for the good of others. Press play to hear more and join the conversation.
