Celebrating Black Love

Newlyweds

Chelsea & Jesse Jackson lets us in on their black love.

Who said facebook can’t help you find love? This wasn’t the case with Chelsea when she slid into Jesse inbox (or as well call it DMs). Chelsea and Jesse met through facebook dating and immediately hit it off.

Their relationship bloomed with baecations trips and 11 months of romance before Jesse asked Chelsea to marry him in front of her family.

Chelsea and Jesse Jackson have now been married for one month and they gave us to some insight of their newly found marriage in this issue of celebrating “Black Love” . .

Was it love at first sight? How many dates did it

take to fall for each other? As I mentioned, we met on Facebook Dating. We hit it off immediately and our relationship quickly took off. Before he asked me to be his girlfriend, we already had a baecation planned! On that baecation in Savannah, GA while sitting in the car listening to our song “Point Of All” by Anthony Hamilton,

I told him I loved him! He looked so surprised but also so happy! So happy that after he said it back, he got out the car and screamed “SHE LOVES ME!” . It was the cutest thing! We quickly started planning more trips and creating so many memories together. He asked me to marry him about 10-11 months later in front of my family. Then 6 months later we got married! .

How do you keep the fire alive in your relationship?

We keep the fire alive by laughing. We laugh so much and we’re always playing games. We’re quick to have a game night with each other and usually we’re just laughing and talking mess the whole time! We also are newlyweds so we have no problem keeping the fire alive right now �� What is your most memorable moment with your partner? How do you handle disagreements?

The most memorable moment I have with Jesse has to be our engagement. It was my birthday weekend and fourth of July weekend. Jesse had planned so much that as I was finding out along the way. One of those thing was a photo shoot and I started to get suspicious. My family was also cracking at this point and little secrets were slipping out. Of course, I thought it was going to happen during the photoshoot and when it didn’t, I felt like such an idiot!!!

We talked about it then because he could tell something was wrong with me. He played it off so well! He says there’s another surprise, blindfolds me, and the next thing I know I’m in front of my family and his and he’s proposing!

I was completely shocked. As far as disagreements, we are still navigating the best way that works for the both of us. But generally, we don’t go more than a day without hashing out whatever the disagreement is.

Is understanding your partner's love language important?

Absolutely! We both have read the love language book and are well aware of each other’s love language. It helps me to understand why he does certain things and also how to love him.

What does Black Love mean to you?

Black love is everything. Black love is real, it’s beautiful, and so powerful. I was adamant that I wanted a black man as my husband. We want to promote black love and the POSITIVITY of black love. We don’t see black love enough and we both want to represent that to the fullest

Black Luv represents that our LUV, our culture, our unity, & our vibes cannot be boxed. We will always LUV big and outside of the box. Our LUV has no boundaries. Our LUV is bold & strong, and comes in many different forms. Black LUV is a statement that we were once denied of & we are changing the narrative.
