If you know me, you know I LOVE black men. This project is dedicated to all of them. Those who are currently in my life and those who will enter in the future. For this project I simply asked; "What feelings or negative ideas has society placed on you as a black man? Also, what do you crave and need that would counter these negative emotions? These things are not hidden. These derogatory terms are blatant and common. There is no hiding the stereotypes. It is written all over their bodies and infused into the skin they cannot hide. But, that's just it. It is only skin deep. The experience of a black man in America is incredibly unique. As a black woman, I understand how crucial my role is to provide what is needed. Trust, joy, beauty, a family, and a sense of home. I feel responsible and even eager to do so. Whether it be as a mother, a sister, a lover, or just a friend, I help to create resilience and thick skin.
