A Couple that Creates Together
Real Relationships
“A couple that creates together stays together.” That’s a mantra that seems to work for Codie and Tommy Oliver, the creators of the Black Love documentary on OWN. Inspired by their own relationship, the duo set out in 2017 to capture the power of Black Love through the trials and testimonies of Black couples who kept pushing when the going got tough. It’s a good watch whether you're taken or single. You can catch seasons 1 through 3 here.
