Book DescriptionReview “Old School Love is the kind of love that makes you wanna wear matching shell-toe sneakers and dance in the living room. Rev Run and Justine personify black love and family. Their commitment to God is the foundation of their union. God is love. Old School Love is ‘like that, and that’s the way it is.’” (Nia Long)“Bless up; Rev Run and his Queen Justine are a true example of love. The way that Rev upholds his queen and the way Justine supports her king serve as an inspiration for what unconditional love should look like. Rev and Justine share the same values as my queen and I, that God is the foundation of our love.” (DJ Khaled, Asahd’s father)“With all of the external pressures coming at us, we gotta love, forgive, and love some more.

Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Simmons.” (LL Cool J)“Justine and Rev Run Simmons represent a level of integrity, heart, and spirituality like nothing that’s ever been seen in our generation.
