What is your reason for wanting to help people who are married?
Bonika: My work in the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion space has allowed me to take a deep dive into the gaps that exists in our communities. Outside of economic and education gaps which I have been working to close these gaps and ultimately hope to eliminate disparities, there are other critical factors. When you look at the problems in our communities, crime, mental health, access to transportation, insurance etc. it’s difficult to solve these problems without going to the foundation. The foundation begins in the home. Healthy homes and healthy children begin with healthy parents and at the core of that is healthy relationships so this is why my focus has shifted to focus on marriages, if you solve for that you can solve for so many other items. In essence healthy relationships equate to healthier and safer communities.
If you could have anyone in the world read your book, who would it be?
Bonika I would like for people who are hopeful and inspired to have a successful marriage and leave a dynasty to read my book. These couples are looking for proven tools and resources and will commit to utilizing the tools to achieve their goal of a dynamic marriage.
If you are looking for an actual name, it would be nice to haveTD Jakes read and support the book because I believe our mission of creating healthy communities via healthy people are in alignment. Additionally, he is a builder of legacy and that is absolutely what the book is designed to do.
It would also be nice to have Gary Chapman read and support the book because he has created such a large community via The Five Love Languages, and I believe his book nicely lays the foundation for the work that will come after which is the work that happens in my book.
Why are healthy marriages so important?
Bonika Healthy marriages are the foundation for healthy families, healthy lives, whole children, strong finances, and safer more inclusive communities. Solving most problems, we are faced with mental health, mass shootings, drug abuse, suicide, crime, economics, education, and more start with healthy individuals leaving healthy homes. Currently, we are dealing with broken people leaving broken homes and until we solve for whole people entering our communities, we will never be able to really tackle all the other items. But broken parents often create broken children and broken people create broken communities. Healing families will ultimately heal communities.
