Welcome to the beginning of our February mini-series, Unmasking Love & Legacy.

In Episode 1, Marquita opens an honest conversation about the kind of love many of us inherited—the love that looked like endurance, responsibility, silence, and survival. This episode invites listeners to reflect on how survival patterns shape the way we give, receive, and define love today.

Because sometimes what we called love… was really just what we did to make it through.

This is your reminder: love was never meant to cost you yourself.

In Episode 1 of Unmasking Love & Legacy, Marquita kicks off February with a real conversation: sometimes love wasn’t softness — it was survival.

This episode connects directly to our 28 Days of Love: Unmasking How I Love Myself challenge and explores how many of us learned love through responsibility, endurance, and being the “strong one.”

Because healed love doesn’t require performance — it requires presence.
