STANDING ON PRINCIPLE

Vulnerability

🤍 My Story: I grew up in a single parent household - without the financial support, emotional intelligence, or intellectual guidance of an adequate father.

🤍 How I Felt: I don't know what being a child feels like

🤍 WE " Men " have to support our households more, especially when raising young black men because we our losing our boys to the prison system and grave yards.

I have to stand on principle and call our men out:

" WE NEED OUR FATHER'S TO STAND ON PRINCIPLE. "

This isn’t about attacking faith it’s about accountability. One person in power tried to bend the rules to fit their own choices, while ignoring the very same standards they expect everyone else to follow. That’s not standing on principle. That’s hiding behind it. The bigger issue isn’t belief i

A stack of five books, including 'Funny You Should Ash' and 'Nightbitch,' on a table in front of a fireplace. An overlay reads 'BOOKS I WILL NEVER READ On principle' with hand and sad face emojis.
The book cover for 'Women' by Charles Bukowski, with text overlays explaining why the author avoids it, citing 'toxic masculinity,' 'objectifies women,' and being 'overrated and tired.'
The book cover for 'Baby Teeth' by Zoje Stage, on a table with a croissant and water. Overlays describe it as 'anxiety-inducing,' 'too dark,' and having a 'disturbing premise' due to the 'evil child' trope.
Books I will never read on principle
