Men aren’t meant to have emotions, men should be strong and carry us on their well-carved abs leading us to a manly curated and better tomorrows. [Says society’s men]
The African man is even more punctured than his fellow men, he’s seen as a pillar built on vigor and glory, burning with the pain of slavery and a horrific past.


I won’t say so much, but let your man breathe.
The African skin is glorious, our men are broken.
A flawed understanding of being one with their emotions, our women we see as unequal.
What’s wrong?
We need to be one with our stories as our skins scream liberty.
