Beyond the Fairy Tale: Debrena Jackson-Gandy Challenges Love Stereotypes
In a captivating dialogue on love and relationships, Debrena Jackson-Gandy Back2Besa Love and Relationships Expert introduces the concept of "Love STDs" - socially transmitted delusions. These are the misconceptions about love and relationships perpetuated through generations via media, songs, movies, and societal norms.
Delving into the discussion with Back2Besa host Besa Gordon, Debrena unveils one of the most pervasive love lies: the belief that love is found externally in another person. Rejecting this notion, she emphasizes the importance of cultivating self-love and understanding that seeking completion from someone else is like pouring water into a leaky bucket - a hopeless endeavor.
Shifting the focus to male love misconceptions, Debrena highlights the misconception that a good-looking woman equates to a good woman. She challenges men to look beyond physical appearances and consider inner qualities when evaluating a potential partner, urging them to prioritize substance over surface.
Debrena's insights challenge conventional beliefs about love and relationships, urging individuals to question societal norms and media portrayals. By debunking these love myths, she advocates for a deeper understanding of oneself and one's partner, paving the way for more meaningful connections and fulfilling relationships.
This enlightening conversation serves as a reminder to prioritize self-awareness and genuine connection in matters of the heart. As Debrena aptly puts it, "True love begins within, and the journey to fulfilling relationships starts with knowing and loving oneself."
