To be a black man in america means having the weight of the world on your shoulders. It forces a different outlook, it gives a different perspective. It is being often talked about, but rarely being spoken to. It means being your Brothers Keeper. Dont move, a vote. Standing tall, proud, and unapologetic. Navigating america as a black man comes with a different style, a cadence, a rhythm thats all our own.

Look, what do you have to lose . Its a moment where we defined our narrative for ourselves. Where we get to say who we are. What we believe and what matters most.
