We launched this movement by asking this one (seemingly) simple question. Over the years we’ve been humbled, humored, and heartbroken by the responses. The most common answer we get from Black Men (after a long pause) is, “No one has ever asked me that.” And this itself encapsulates the power and importance of our mission. —- What might it mean to catch the courage to begin to think about the answer to this question? What shifts might happen if we began to believe we were worthy of living a life where joy was central to it? — This isn’t just a rhetorical exercise. We invite you to genuinely think about the answer. We invite you to share. We invite you to join us in working to create sustainable environments…even amongst all that seeks to stand against us doing so…where we can SMILE more often. What makes you smile? 👇🏾👇🏾 . . . #blackmensmile #smile #blackjoy #whatmakesyouhappy #whatmakesyousmile #blackhistorymonth https://www.instagram.com/p/CZz158DJUlz/?utm_medium=tumblr
