Black Man

Summary

This is a tale of A BLACK MAN, not THE BLACK MAN, for we're not a monolith. We each have different ways of being. Maybe a collection like this changes perceptions, for we’re not only a group who share a similar hue. There’s a range to our melanin, a variety in BLACK MEN, not every man is hyper-masculine.

However, to our stereotypes, we’re hyper-vigilant.

This collection crafts a narrative that encompasses the different aspects of a BLACK MAN. Each section is diverse and unique but tells the tale of the whole man, the whole person. I'm hopeful this will change the way we're viewed in the eyes of some. For we're not merely the sum of our parts. We're people, we're men. We each have a purpose, families, and friends. We have hearts, flaws, and strengths too. We have joys and talents, just like you.

And just like everyone else, we seek to find a balance.

Every day we try to do our best just being men, for it's already hard enough being Black, Man!
