Black man joy!
Looking into the mirror, I see a pigmentation that’s rarely seen or even seen!
I see the many faces of the men who fought for me to be here Malcolm X, martin Luther king, Fredrick Douglas, W.E.B Du Bois, and many others.

So I smile because I have black man joy!
Knowing that they fought tremendous battles for me to get here! I look into the mirror, and I say, “you are worthy, and no one can steal your black man's joy” I give it another swing like Muhammad Ali.”

To know that every minute somewhere in the USA, A black man who looks like me joy has been taken. Either by death by su***de because they can no longer handle the pressures of this world.

Or gun down by our counterparts and, even worse, someone who looks like our own. What’s a man to think in a world of unfairness? Where should my black boy joy be found?

Knowing that because of my skin, hair, and dialect, I’m already in a battle because of my image. What’s a man to do to find his joy.”

Fighting just as hard to be accepted and love the American dream, I attended college and purchased a home, hoping this would be enough to allow me to feel overall joy!

But to see my community hurting each other and disappointing our ancestors and ancestors who fought for us to be here.

The joy feels like pain. The smile becomes a frown because of the tears and voices of Trayvon martin, Ahmad Aubrey, Breyona Taylor, George Floyd, and Trye Nicholas. I stare into the mirror, hearing and feeling their cry for help.

I know speaking about trauma in my community can be seen as weak or lack of masculinity. But what’s a black man supposed to do to find his joy?

Speak up and speak out. Give it another swing. Giving up or giving in is not an option. In times of need, we have to pull together.

It’s not many that look like you! So lean on the ones who do! Please encourage them to find their joy! Uplift them and allow them to embrace the pleasures of this life!

Tell them it’s more to life than the streets, gang violence, being angry at the world! This life gives you one chance to write your story, and why leave the earth knowing someone took your black man's joy?

Affirmations: in New Thought and New Age terminology refer primarily to the practice of positive thinking and self-empowerment— 🔸 I am strong 🔸 I am capable 🔸 I am blessed 🔸I am enough 🔸 I am confident 🔸I’am worthy.
I ask you to ask yourself what you are affirming not only today but daily to continue living a healthier & wealthier lifestyle

There is a disconnect between health resources and conversations within the black community that addresses health and its differences in the black male perspective and the black female perspective. Specially ones created and designed by black individuals that appeal to a younger audience, as well as offer a voice on the matter from everyday people.
I am going to research and hold conversations with black youth, ages 18-25 on their health, ways they cope, how it is addressed, and what steps need to be taken to see improvements for them.
This will provide a voice from the community and consistent place to look back on those conversations.

With nearing Christmas and steadily hearing individuals dying by su***de, especially African American men, The more compelled I feel to ask the community! Please check in and share resources with your loved ones! Make sure they are not suffering in silence. If you see or expect something, do something! Calling #988 or even requesting an evaluation at the local emergency room! Contacting a therapist or crisis hotline!

As the holidays approach, wants to make sure you and your loved ones are mentally and physically doing ok. It’s been a rough year for some of us who have lost a loved one or lost ourselves to health or social, and economic issues. And I want to say just because it’s the holidays doesn’t mean you shouldn’t address your issues and find the proper resources to help you get on the correct path of triaging those issues! The facts-Seasonal affective disorder occurs in 0.5 to 3 percent of individuals in the general population; it affects 10 to 20 percent of people with major depressive disorder and about 25 percent of people with bipolar disorder.
