Nisa Islam Muhammad is the Founder and CEO of Wedded Bliss Foundation, a national initiative to promote marriage in the Black community. Inspired by the Million Family March, she came upon this challenging work while researching an article for The Final Call Newspaper where she is a senior staff writer. She read in the Morehouse Research Institute publication, “Turning the Corner on Father Absence in Black America”, that married men make more money. She asked herself, “Does anyone else know this?” After researching the answer, she found that not many people knew the numerous benefits of marriage, especially in the Black community. That was the beginning of her quest to unearth a wealth of knowledge about the benefits of marriage and pass them on to the community where successful marriages are a wish and a prayer.

“Reviving Marriage in the Black Community” was the company’s debut conference in the Washington, DC area that gathered nearly 200 people interested in learning how to make their marriage successful. Participants engaged in workshops that explored topics such as “Fighting for Your Marriage: Resisting Divorce, Finding Your Soulmate and “Infidelity: Repairing a Broken Promise”. The conference received national press coverage and Wedded Bliss has been asked to bring the innovative conference to New York, Houston and Chicago next year.
