About
I Love My Woman was inspired by the short video of the same name, conceived and created by artist Otis Kriegel, to challenge the stereotype that men are not willing to share their emotions about love openly. The video uses more than 100 interviews from across New York City to candidly explore the reasons men love the women they are with. From the touch of their women's skin to the sound of their voices, from the way they love to the way they feel loved, the men express serious, revealing, bizarre, comical, and self-centered emotions--often surprising and always honest.

I Love My Woman shows that when men are given the opportunity, they're ready to talk about one thing: their woman.

I Love My Woman features the song, Elation (Morning Remix), Written and Performed by HYIM (www.hyimvibe.com).

Now it's your turn. Submit a video of yourself describing why you love your woman.
