RECEIVING AFFIRMATION

August 31, 2019

My brothers: When we cannot receive love and affirmation from each other—we will never be able to attain the healing we so desperately desire. Living in a state of heartache, wearies the soul and takes the life out of living. I know this pain so well, which is why I #CryLikeAMan daily until we can collectively heal and be whole.

Never Take The Detour

As many of you know, it took two years for our nonprofit The Yunion to fundraise enough money to purchase a 15,000 sft building to expand The Cave of Adullam and our other life changing programs.

The Path To Healing

Words Of A Wise Elder

One of my friends sent me this video and I was so blessed hearing the words of a wise elder regarding his thoughts after reading #CryLikeAMan.

ALLOW YOURSELF TO HAVE WEAK MOMENTS INSTEAD OF A WEAK MINDSET

August 18, 2019

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 didn’t know how to #CryLikeAMan—I just a male defined only by masculine attributes.
