#blackjoyparade

Don't be afraid to take a chance..............

Every day I have a new reason to believe in us more. Every day I am inspired by stories I hear from Black Men of ways they’ve chosen to live more fully into themselves. May you discover and express the fullness of you. And in doing so, may others be compelled to do the same. —- Photo by our very own @amirthephotographer #blackmensmile #blackjoy #blackjoyparade #smile #instaquotes https://www.instagram.com/p/B9LWC48A2G4/?igshid=fdmewxpgdlvs
