Black Joy Is Revolutionary. It asserts that we are more than our struggles, that we are complex, multifaceted, and deserving of love, respect, and dignity. It challenges the notion that our joy is something to be earned or sacrificed, and instead insists that it is a birthright, an essential part of who we are. 📷 via @thearthype 📍 @thedo.jo #blackmensmile #blackjoy #blackjoyisrevolutionary #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #beautifulpeople https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq_EFchAN1r/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We are in one of the strangest times we’ve ever experienced as a society. For once, the world is at a standstill (for the most part). Take this time to rest, to pick up a hobby you’ve been putting off, to learn a skill you’ve been too busy to learn, conceptualizing an idea that you’ve been too stressed to consider, clean a space that you’ve been avoiding cleaning, change your diet cause your New Years Resolution fell through in the first week. It’s important to stay true at to you, in these times... it’s the only way to survive it.

this. is. beautiful. i spent all of 10 mins on this man's profile and his understanding of life is immaculate. if i've ever fallen in this category to any i am sorry because i resonate w/ this so badly tht i should know better. take my permission to love me, leave me or both and i will do the same. now! read on and thank you. // repost by: @ohpenmike: "When I was struggling with depression, I didn't tell anyone because I HATED being a burden to others(and I still do). I refuse to bring down someone's mood with my problems. But while dealing with my issues, I was doing my best to help others, whether it be a close friend or a stranger. It was often taxing constantly being everyone else's support, especially when my kindness was taken for granted. But without rapping to much I just wanna tell y'all to check on your friends and be considerate to them cause you never really know what people are going through. Don't be that friend that's always taking, never giving, always venting but never listening. Make it a point to ask that lending ear, "Yo, enough about my problems, how you doing? You good fam? You need anything?". And to all my people who relate to what I was dealing with, remember to take care of yourself first. It's not selfish to make your health and well being a priority. . . . . . . #streetsofdc #localsonlydc #acreativedc #thearthype #fotodc #streetmeetdc #igdc #igersdc #exposeddc #dcfocused #dctography #exploredc #afropunk #ofmicnmen" (via #InstaRepost @AppsKottage)

BMS feat. photographer @thearthype shares about his hair journey and what matters most : Committed | #TheArtHype . These staggering portraits were taken by @elliottodonovan Circa May 2021 right as things were headed towards a bit of normalcy. . I have growing my hair since September 2018, the month of my son’s birth. It was while he was NICU, I asked God to bring him home and I would dedicate my hair. . Next month he turns three and so does my hair journey. A constant reminder that life is precious and there isn’t much more that matters than family. .
