Power Couple Teyana Taylor & Iman Shumpert Talk Black Love & Building a Legacy with Ebony Magazine

"It means unconditional love..."

Power couple Teyana Taylor, Iman Shumpert, and their kids are featured on the cover of Ebony Magazine’s April issue. In an interview with the magazine, the couple talked about black love, building a legacy and more.

About black love, Iman had this to say, “Black love looks like the pain you share with someone else, so it’s not as heavy. It means unconditional love because you’re going to celebrate together when it doesn’t hurt anymore. It’s affectionate and unapologetic; it is bold and needed in a world full of hate. I love Black love.”

On building a legacy, Teyana Taylor had this to say, “We’re working to build generational wealth. We’re young and what I respect about Iman and I’s dynamic is that we empower and push one another to be better versions of ourselves all across the board. I love that our relationship goes beyond just support—we hold each other accountable to be greater. We are the example for our girls. And that’s our mentality: there’s always a new goal, a new dream, a new narrative that we want to create for our family and our legacy.”
