@kingsean74 : “I learned you have to look away and/or look at things in another way to get to where you need to be. Understand we all have things that happen in life that gets the best of us, life be life’in but can’t stop living when it gets hard, you have to acknowledge the issues and no matter how hard it may be we have to sometimes look at doing things differently, even when we don’t want to, in order to get things we need! Find your passion in life and make love to it.” #healingjourney #positivevibesonly #liveyourlife #blackmentalhealth #BlackMenSmile https://www.instagram.com/p/Crmk6sYANc_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I think this is one of the most powerful images and words on IG right now. —- by @berettascottking : “May my actions lay the foundation for my children and their families. May my sacrifices always keep and guard them. May their partners know that I am their mother, too. May they have all of their needs and wants met exceedingly and abundantly because of the doors I’ve opened- because of the doors opened for me. Maferefun Yemonja. Omi o! Maferefun Sango.

Black Joy Is Revolutionary. It asserts that we are more than our struggles, that we are complex, multifaceted, and deserving of love, respect, and dignity. It challenges the notion that our joy is something to be earned or sacrificed, and instead insists that it is a birthright, an essential part of who we are. 📷 via @thearthype 📍 @thedo.jo #blackmensmile #blackjoy #blackjoyisrevolutionary #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #beautifulpeople https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq_EFchAN1r/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

RISE UP KING Whether as truth inside a metaphor or a metaphor pointing to truth, the lesson is that not even death can defeat you…that even in the face of oppression, denial, and betrayal…even having been despised and rejected…even being intimately acquainted with grief…that inside of you is something that can never be destroyed…that which you are seeking is also seeking you…that knowing who you are must ring more loudly than who you are told you cannot be…that the stone that the builders refused will be the corner stone…that you will continue to rise because you have already risen. -cm #blackmen #rise #heisrisen #resurrection #blackking #easter #jesus #sundaysermon https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq0Rke8guGd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@jyo_john_mulloor is going viral for a series of AI assisted images depicting iconic leaders such as Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and MLK taking selfies surrounded by friends, followers, and the faithful. Seeing these conceptualized images makes me imagine these figures who are typically only remembered for their serious nature and the weight of their Justice movements, actually having moments regular moments like everyone else…taking time out to ultimately just feel human and inviting others to (even in the midst of struggle) feel the same. 👉🏾What do this image speak to you? #vintagephoto #mlk #selfie #conceptart #digitalart #blackmensmile #imagine https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqg_RwKrP7D/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

UN-LEARNING IS ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS TOWARD HEALING “Learning to wear a mask is the first lesson in patriarchal masculinity a boy learns. He learns that his core feelings cannot be expressed if they do not conform to the acceptable behaviors sexism defines as male. Asked to give up the true self in order to realize the patriarchal ideal, boys learn self-betrayal early and are rewarded for these acts of soul murder.“ - bell hooks, The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love Shirt rocked by @igiveyoumoore #notetoself #blackmen #blackmentalhealth #unlearn #bellhooks #healing #blackmasculinity https://www.instagram.com/p/CqgRMIhJyUn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
