A special episode solely dedicated to the black man. On this episode, Gernique talks about ALL the reasons why black men are worthy and worthy to be celebrated…everyday.
Dear Black Men:
This system was designed to destroy you. This world does not love you as much as it should. You are expected to LOVE the loudest while receiving the least emotional support. You are complex and multi-faceted. One size does not fit all. You are not told enough how much you matter. You are not allowed to be different. Instead of waiting for another unfortunate hashtag… I’m sending love your way today… Continue to be great!
With So Much Love & Admiration, Gernique.
