I LOVE THIS PERSPECTIVE! We are conditioned as black boys to limit ourselves and we grow into men that are incapable of loving, learning, teaching, and nurturing. More conversations like this are needed in our communities 🫶🏾

I worked at journeys and one time this family came in to get their son shoes, he commented that he liked the single use nylon socks we give out, and the father mocked him for it endlessly asking him if he wanted to be a girl, calling him a ballerina, etc. it was ugly 💔 I see it too as a bartender now. they can’t drink pink drinks, can’t use a straw or certain glassware for fear or being perceived as feminine.

“You don’t have to live like this” if there was a men’s movement, that could be their motto. If we can deprogram men, they can get out of the box. If we can get men out of the box, the boys will follow.

Freedom is free, costly & priceless.
Free — because it is inherent.
Costly — because claiming it can demand sacrifice.
Priceless — because once you know what it means to be free, you understand why people risk everything for it.

I try explaining to my friends that coming out of the closet was like being liberated from toxic masculinity

My son is 6’5. His dad 6’4 and he can’t play. People don’t realize height has nothing to do with talent. As he was growing up I told off a lot of people that encouraged him to play ball. I didn’t want him to be stereotyped or made to feel he had to play for someone else’s hoop dream.

Patriarchy is The Prison. Marginalized men need to deconstruct those "rules" that strip them and everyone else of our collective Humanity...
