Price: $19.95 (plus S&H )

The Real Talk Love DVD is powerful and it is moving and most importantly, it is REAL. Young, African American men and women talk frankly in an open forum about their issues with each other expressing their anger, disappointment, hopes, and fears. They answer the tough questions about relationships and they even share some of their struggles. They laugh, they cry but ultimately they make a few suggestions that leave everyone hopeful that love does indeed conquer all.

The Real Talk Love DVD project was designed to get young people to begin having a more serious dialogue about love and relationships including the good, the bad and the sometimes ugly truth so that we can get to a point of commonality rather than difference, success rather than suffering. Real Talk Love begins to bring us together, highlighting our desires to be happy in love ultimately because so many of us have begun to believe the many myths that keep us apart.

Real Talk Love is unique because it touches on the unscripted truth about love. It’s different because it’s coming from the minds and hearts of young people who want families, believe in education and have moral standards and values. We get a serious look their ideas and opinions, hashing out their true feelings so that we can begin to re-establish our family base and be successful, for the future of our families.

Love has been presented from the perspectives and expertise of older adults yet Na’Kisha Crawford thought it was time for her generation to define themselves along with their desires for healthy relationships and expects Real Talk Love to be well received primarily because of the disconnect that currently exists between the older and younger generations. “These are my peers and I want to be both a support and an example, relating to them and understanding their plights. I don’t have all of the answers but I do have something to contribute.”
