February is Relationship Month for Ebony Magazine’s Couple of the Year

There is no better time to designate a month to concentrate on relationships than February. While most are out looking for a special gift to signify a milestone in their relationship, pacify an ongoing relationship, or put a ring on the finger to elevate a relationship, this month will definitely have its fair share of relationship conversations.

Rufus and Jenny Triplett, Ebony Magazine’s “Couple of the Year” and co-hosts of the Prisonworld Radio Hour invites everyone to tune in along with their audiences from two local Atlanta radio stations as well as their global listening audience as they discuss various types of relationships including how those that are affected by a friend or family member that is incarcerated. This is the third year Relationship Month has been designated by the radio show, and a most special year as the Triplett’s are still settling into their Ebony Magazine honor.

“In times like this, media does not need to “sugar coat” anything. We have decided this year to do shows this month regarding marriage and its demise, social media and improving prison life relationships. Shows in the past have included the relationship people have with marijuana and the possibility of legalizing it, relationships within a male music group and what would make one member go rouge and the homosexual relationships that straight people experience behind bars because of their environment” said Jenny Triplett of Dawah International, LLC, a multimedia company she and her husband, Rufus, own and operate.

Dawah International publishes Prisonworld Magazine, distributes Prisonworld Records, the Prisonworld Radio Hour and the Prisonworld Radio Network. There is also a successful blog under the umbrella where inmates are allowed to express their thoughts and feelings on relationships as well.

Prisonworldradiohour.com, which is being piped through hundreds of American-based affiliates, RSS Feeds, including Blubrry Podcasting and iTunes, is streamed live 24 hours a day with some of the most unique segments that includes news, talk, poetry, spoken word, acapella music, trivia and information on the prison system.

“We have been married for over 22 years with a story that reads like a New York Times Best Seller. We have been through some stuff and can definitely write a book about it, which we are. Who better to stimulate the conversation of relationships that us? Our survival has been by the Grace of God and learning how to communicate. We had a failure in communication but worked on it longer than 72 days to get it right.” said Rufus.

The Prisonworld Radio Hour, which draws listeners from over 100 countries including the US, UK, France, Canada, Germany, Australia, Israel, Korea, The Netherlands, Turkey, Austria, Norway, Japan and Indonesia, among others, has broadened its brand into a global market in just two years. Today, it offers listeners the benefit of downloading the show in mp3 format for their iPods or mp3 players for convenient listening.
“We want to address the diversity in relationships during Relationship Month. The new millennium has changed the way we relate with people. Social Media, smart phones, the perception of marriage and divorce has all changed. Inmates who are serving long sentences are missing this trending change.” said Jenny, who is also co-producer or the shows.

The Triplett’s are ready to release their co-authored book, “Surviving Marriage In The 21st Century: 13 Easy Tips that will help you get to 20 years and Beyond.” The Prisonworld Radio Hour airs on two stations in Atlanta, WWWE-1100AM International Talk, Mondays @1pm EST and WAEC Love 860AM Tuesday-Friday @12am-3am.
