“One of the concepts of soul mating is that you are together before you are conceived. So, before conception, you are together and unified and then you separate to be born as a baby,” Nwasha says. “So the idea of coming back together is unification.” The full history of Valentine’s Day is unknown as there are many beliefs about it, but the one thing that stands to be true is that there is a dark history that surrounds Valentine’s Day. However, it is known that the holiday originated in Rome. According to an NPR article, Feb. 13 to the 15 was dedicated to the Romans who celebrated Lupercalia. Women would let men hit them because they believed this act would make them fertile.
Black American’s merely have two holidays that are celebrated for more than one day: Kwanzaa and Black History Month. However, Black Americans should be celebrated all year-round. These holidays are sandwiched between non-Black celebrations that many people acknowledge more. As the interview progressed Montsho stated that there are so many things to understand and learn during the holiday around love, family, togetherness, and community whether you are single or a couple. This is a holiday for everyone to celebrate and feel like they are a part of something.
Montsho and Nwasha conveyed that as we continue to use words like “romance” we are still upholding that word and how it originated as the superior level of love as if it was the best example.
