UN-LEARNING IS ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS TOWARD HEALING “Learning to wear a mask is the first lesson in patriarchal masculinity a boy learns. He learns that his core feelings cannot be expressed if they do not conform to the acceptable behaviors sexism defines as male. Asked to give up the true self in order to realize the patriarchal ideal, boys learn self-betrayal early and are rewarded for these acts of soul murder.“ - bell hooks, The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love Shirt rocked by @igiveyoumoore #notetoself #blackmen #blackmentalhealth #unlearn #bellhooks #healing #blackmasculinity https://www.instagram.com/p/CqgRMIhJyUn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

With her new lavender-hued photo series, photographer Camila Falquez shows men can take part in radical softness too. - @camilafalquez | credit @i_d | read more - As Moonlight so powerfully illustrated, the expectations surrounding black masculinity can feel suffocating. Brooklyn-based photographer Camila Falquez saw this for herself when she had to convince her model, LZ Granderson, that posing in pink tulle would not hurt his career. “I said, ‘Listen, trust me. You want to be seen as a man ready to change the stories told about men,’” Camila recalls. Camila first met LZ, an aspiring politician, when she was taking photos at this year’s Afropunk Festival and fell in love with his aura. “He was so gracious, honest, and giving in the way he posed.” | #afrobougee #radicalsoftness #blackmen #masculin #blackmasculinity #powerful #gender #posing #camilafalquez
