WHAT MAKES YOU PROUD TO BE A BLACK MAN?
I’m able to represent living in my truth and be confident with myself. Growing up, it was shamed for a black man to be okay  with loving the same sex and living in their femininity or just whatever is outside of the norm of a black man only being able to date a woman , play football, take  care the household and be strong. So I’m proud to be, what I wasn’t able to be.

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IS THE MOST MISUNDERSTOOD ASPECT OF BEING A BLACK MAN?
You have to always present yourself to be extremely hard, not able to be vulnerable and can’t give off any softness.

DEAR BLACK MAN…
You are art and you are loved. Happiness is here for us.
