Last night, we had a small group, but the conversation was dynamic. I'm so happy that we are able to create a space where men can be vulnerable and shed tears if need be because we are speaking from the heart. A few powerful things that were shared by the men last night, we will affectionately refer to them as Underdogisms: "Make sure that you have a friend who is a 'Lid Lifter' for you!" POWERFUL! Another one, "Standards over feelings!'" MIC DROP! And another one, "To thine ownself be true!" BOOM! Those were just a few but, man what a great conversation! At their core, these real conversations lead to learning how to support one another and truly being our brother's keeper! If you're interested in having me lead a conversation with your group, be it Barbershop, Beautyshop, or Lockerroom, please don't hesitate to contact me. If we don't come together to address our mental wellness, then no one else will. WE are all that we've got, but WE are all that WE need!
