About the Event
The Symbols
The symbol atop the Black Power Couple’s Brunch crest is an Adinkra symbol, visual symbols that represent concepts, proverbs and aphorisms originating from the Gyaman people of Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. This particular symbol incorporates “ODO NNYEW FIE KWAN” which symbolizes the power of love, and the message “Love will never lose it’s way”. Or, to paraphrase another adage, “Love never fails”.
The Purpose
The Black Power Couple’s Brunch is a networking and edification brunch centered on the preservation and celebration of Black Love. Indianapolis is home to countless Black business owners, business professionals, lawyers, physicians, authors and creatives. Those same titans of industry are often in loving partnerships with a spouse or significant other, many of whom are also professionals of high stature. Unfortunately, the propensity for Black power couples to thrive is often challenging to navigate as competing ambitions, imposter syndrome, balance shifts in earning power, along with and the demands of juggling child care, home upkeep and a personal relationship, (often in that order) get in the way of love and affection. We aim to disrupt that.
The vision for this inaugural event is for Black Couples to break bread and share collective wisdom through their trials and triumphs, while participating in guided discussions on topics that can strengthen and embolden the power of black love.
The Soundtrack
What’s love without tunes to set the tone. Music is tied intimately to countless memories over our lives, this is especially true in relationships. Songs that bring you back to the time where you were looking for love, fell in love, and when you decided to lock that love down. We knew we needed a maestro up for the challenge of curating songs that would match the energy of the event. Enter our DJ for the Inaugural Black Power Couples Brunch, none other than the king of the R&B Mixtape himself, Dee-Jay Duck!!!
