Emotional Fluency: The Language Black Boys aren't Taught | Nate Evans Jr. | TEDxWhiting

[kingderald]

Honestly I started crying watching this. My emotions are at all time high. Trying to just really thrive in society. Needed to hear this.

[bryantdeshields]

It’s a shame that this young brother doesn’t get the recognition and respect he deserves in Atlantic County, NJ . Keep up the good work.

We also lack emotional fluency because we have a subsect in our community who allow celebrities, sports stars to be our heros, and this deep attachment to pop-culture and obsession of trying to be viewed as "cool."

[charleslang]

He hit the nail on the head. Safe spaces are needed. And boys need mentors. Keep doing your thing...

Thank you for speaking on this! Our young males of color need to hear it from men in their community!!

[laquittapearson]

This was absolutely beautiful. This is needed in our communities. So simple steps but because the trauma deeply rooted in our community many need to be taught just those 4 steps!!

[Calmly-replied]

😮 That only 18, 000 people have watched 👀 this as 2023 is the tragic 😥 😔 Shame on the process that doesn't push this information forward!!!

Applause for bringing up Dr. DeGruy! As you were talking, I thought of that book. It was transformational in my ability to understand my culture as a White American.
And tears of gratitude and love for those last words. I felt the love emanate from you.

Shared this video on LinkedIn too.

I had to watch this twice and ponder what he's saying. Very emotional and thought-provoking. Thank you for the talk.

[EricMHowardII-yhrn]

Thank you for being honest about what happened to you that was not easy to do. Listen with understanding, Opening up your heart to display tender affection. Encouragement is inspired by faith, hope and love. Truthful and respectful dialogue is needed now more than ever before in human history.
