Actress Sanaa Lathan is best known as one of Black Hollywood’s elites, but many still want to know why the stunning 48-year-old is still single.
During her talk with journalist Taylor Rooks during the annual CultureCon last month, Lathan explains why she chooses herself first and won’t buy into the idea that a woman must be chosen by a man.
“There is this weird obsession with Black women [to] marry,” stated Rooks.
In response to Rooks statement Lathan replied, “We read all these fairy tales—Snow White, Cinderella—…[and] they’re being chosen by a man. That’s when you win when you are chosen by a man. That’s not the truth! I’ma choose me first.”
“You see how many relationships aren’t working,” Lathan continued. “The divorce rate is—I don’t know—it has got to be over 50 percent. So I wouldn’t invest in something with less than 50 percent. That’s more than half of failure.”
But don’t get confused, Lathan hasn’t given up on love.
“I do believe in love and I want that for myself, but right now I’m focused on loving myself and the truth is when you start loving yourself, you attract a better quality of situation.”
So what is Lathan looking for?
“I want somebody who wants me shining; who is not scared of that; who will be there after the days over and actually cares about what’s going on in my life. And I want to do the same for someone.”
What are your thoughts. Does the actress have a point in a woman’s pursuit for happiness?
