On Sunday, October 7th, Vanessa Spencer gathered Ryan Michelle Bathe, Khadeen Ellis, Aonika Thomas, Ashley Chea - all wives featured in the BLACK LOVE Series - to talk about the realities of wife-dom at the first ever Black Love Summit. The event included a full day of panels and conversations, but these ladies held it down on the Wives Panel, a glowed-up girlfriends’ conversation on their role as “wife.”  They covered topics from self care secrets that include tossing tires (aka crossfit as a means of de-stressing) to sexy-time all-the-time to childcare guilt –– each bringing their unique perspective and experience on being a wife and mother.  The attendees left refreshed with new ways to honor their family, and themselves, through the role as a wife.

On Sunday, October 7th, couples and singles alike convened on Los Angeles, California at the W Hotel Hollywood for the first ever Black Love Summit.
