I have felt the pain of being torn down and I have decided I will be deliberate about building others! If I didn’t tag you, please don’t be offended. I tried to pick people I thought would do this challenge!! All too often, we men find it easier to criticize each other, instead of building each other up. With all the negativity going around let’s do something positive!! 🌟💫 Upload 1 picture of yourself... ONLY YOU. Then tag as many brothers to do the same. Let’s build ourselves up, instead of tearing ourselves down. 🙏🏾🤞🏾✊🏾 if I tagged you, don’t disappoint me!!

They may allow us to temporarily beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change. Racism and homophobia are real conditions of all our lives in this place and time.

Then the personal as the political can begin to illuminate all our choices". A.Lorde

Because, sure, you could start that podcast, whip up weekly five-star dinners, or start writing poetryThis feeling stems from the tension of knowing you can do anything but struggling to accept that you can’t do everything. "Fear of not doing", makes you feel like you’re missing out on your own abilities and potential. It whispers in your ear: You could be doing so much, so why aren’t you?
