“I am an invisible man…I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids—and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me.” -Ralph Ellison (Invisible Man)

Being A Better Black Man
In this blog I will go through the various problems I see with black men and some suggestions on how WE can do better. Some example topics will be Black Men and Relationships, Black Men and Family, Black Men and their friendships. I will also have an occasional guest post whose message I am in support of.
Very Smart Brothas
We started conversations and furthered other conversations along. We wrote pieces that the Black community discussed. We were part of the cultural conversation. We helped lead the conversation. I got the opportunity to sing the praises of Ray J and “Return of The Mack,” ad nauseam and celebrate Blackness in ways that I seriously doubt other publications would allow. We never had to sacrifice our voice, not once, to say what needed saying. Again, we did it our way.
The Gentlemen’s Standard
The Gentlemen’s Standard is ambitiously redefining how gentlemen of color approach life, culture, and style. Founded in 2008, this site arose from a dissatisfaction with how men of color are sometimes portrayed in various media outlets. Moreover, this site was created due to a dissatisfaction with how some gentlemen of color portrayed themselves.

Her stories and experiences helped him realize that traveling the world was not only an option, but also a necessity. While at Tennessee State University, Nathan’s professor, Dr. Gallen Hull, who has visited over 80 countries, further ignited his interest in traveling, by sharing his autobiography and challenging Nathan to see more of the world than him.
