Our latest recap is now live:
Uncluttering Black Gay Dating: The Space Between “Jaded” and “Ready”

This new post reflects on our April Fertile Ground salon with Kevin E. Taylor and includes the new podcast recap — touching on dating fatigue, emotional clutter, guardedness, hope, and what it means to become ready for something real.

If you were with us that night, this is a chance to revisit the conversation. If you missed it, this is a good place to jump in.

What if this season felt different?

The Readiness Reset: The Mindset Makeover is about more than dating apps and disappointment — it’s about how we show up, what we keep repeating, and what may need to shift.

Join Fertile Ground and special guest for a lively dinner conversation on mindset, dating patterns, and making room for something more real.

The Fertile Ground Team delivers another exceptional event. The initial installment of a four-part series, 'The Dating Dilemma: Apps. Traps. Truths. Wins,' was truly informative. The dialogue, audience participation, cuisine, entertainment, and location were all flawlessly executed. I am eager to attend the second installment on April 18th, 'The Readiness Reset: The Mindset Makeover,' featuring Kevin E. Taylor.

Blackness doesn’t stop at the border—it stretches, bends, remixes, and still feels like home. Wherever we are, wherever we go, we carry rhythm, pride, and a story with us.

This Salon experience (discussion) pulls together four guest voices — from the United States, the United Kingdom, Jamaica, and Africa — each one shining light on the different cultural experiences across the African Diaspora. We’ll talk with each guest (and each other) about the REAL, the RAW, the MYTH, and the MISUNDERSTOOD parts of diaspora life. Come ready to nod, ponder, laugh, and feel connected to something bigger.
