1For centuries we continuously have seen the black man portrayed as less than a human being. The narrative continues to be that Black men are expendable and can be killed off. Black men are not stand-up fathers. Black men are not supportive of black women. Black men are all cheaters and liars. Black men are not role models. Whatever false narrative you have heard, it is time to change it. Our stand-up Black Kings deserve to be acknowledged, celebrated, and appreciated. They deserve to have life breathed into them. For every bad apple, there are more than enough golden ones. Black men stand tall and accept our appreciation and submerge yourself in mental wellness with these personal love notes.
