3 hours agoFor real! Listening is key and feeling the energy! Having a safe space for your people is the most important!
a day agoAfter the age of 10 most brown skinned melanated boys/men do not experience physical touch (i.e a hugs). The worst thing we can teach our boys is “don’t cry/stop crying” it teaches them NOT to express their emotions & when they become of age to begin dating or get married the one thing women want from them is for them to express their thoughts & feelings. As women we need to create a SAFE ENVIRONMENT for men to feel safe enough to express himself without the consequence of when he upsets us the moment me makes us mad we throw those vulnerable moments back in his face.
2 days agocheck on yo people, even the ones who seem the strongest. not every cry for help comes with tears.
2 days agoI feel like sometimes we get so caught up in trying to distract ourselves from our problems that we forget how much it helps to actually talk about them. Sometimes, all you need is somebody who’ll listen, understand where you’re coming from, and let you feel what you feel without judging you
