Hosted in Los Angeles at Black Love’s headquarters, the summit provided a space to explore love, family, vulnerability, and joy, with powerful moments shared on stage by Black stars and thought leaders.
“If you're dating someone who doesn't have the same intentions with you, I think it's very important to be realistic and honest with yourself. Understand you can't change that person's mind,” Bean says.
“People love Bel Air so much because they feel loved and they feel the forgiveness and the grace that lives in the show in the midst of all the messy drama,” Cassandra Freeman says.
