“You can’t tell me that’s not an improvement. Do you see this?
“Call me a leaky ceiling because I got the drip. This one’s just a thirst trap.
“The Black Wife effect, give it a Pulitzer,” the influencer added.
Lots of Kolter’s social media followers seemed to agree with him as they shared similar experiences with the Black Wife Effect.

@basicallybetsy2.0 we love a black wife but it shouldnt stop there, how can we support a black wife, how can we elevate a black wife the way they elevate us (this is spoken symbolically not in a dehumanizing way) #blackwifeeffect ♬ original sound – Betsy💙
“I feel like there’s so much to break down about it,” Betsy begins in their video. They highlight a phenomenon where Black women, through their resilience, intelligence, and nurturing spirit, uplift not only their partners but also the communities they engage with. “So for me, as I’m watching the Black Wife Effect, what I’m thinking is that everything that Black women touch, they elevate. And that’s not just on a partner scale, that’s on a societal scale.”
