RECEIVING AFFIRMATION
My brothers: When we cannot receive love and affirmation from each otherโwe will never be able to attain the healing we so desperately desire.

Brother Devon, I too allowed misconstrued masculinity hinder my expression of love for my daughter. I will never forget when she slammed her finger in my car door at 8 years old. She showed no emotion to the pain because at that time in my life, I didnโt know how to #CryLikeAManโI just a male defined only by masculine attributes.
