On this special Valentine's Day (Feb 14th)/ Black Love Day (Feb 13th) episode of the Absolute Ghetto, Malcolm and Sadé have some questions for all the Black lovers out there. How much does your relationship embrace the Ghetto? Still trying to figure it out, don’t worry, we got you covered with our official Absolutely Ghetto Love Quiz. Go ahead and sit down with your partner(s), pour a glass of wine, and get prepared to have a good time. You might even learn something new about your relationship. But even if you're single doesn't mean you're not a lover, so please take the quiz too and answer with what you would do. We recommend that y’all do the quiz before listening, but y’all grown so do what works for you. In this episode, we will be talking about the beauty and challenges of Black love and go over our responses to the quiz. We will also let you know how to interpret your quiz results; are your relationship/love style Ghetto AF, Mad Ghetto, Lowkey Ghetto, or ... Suburban, and what does that mean? Of course, we had to bring a couple of articles about how racism and white supremacist ideals affect our relationships in to help inform the conversation. We hope you enjoy this activity, and make sure to let us know what you get through our social media above or website! www.theabsoluteghetto.com
