Brilliant, honest, and captivating! This article is a work of art...just like its author. Thank you for being so vulnerable and honest. As a Black woman, I relate from a personal perspective, but you gave me a deeper understanding of a Black man. As you know, many brothers are not as open, so you helped others be open and gave them a transcript to pull from. Your pain is now purposeful as you have reclaimed your power. God Bless You! Continue to heal, evolve, and love.
