In this episode @ImJustJoslyn sits down with her first cousin aka twin @HillJ09 to discuss the "racy" photo of Jonathan Majors and Michael B. Jordan that has been circulating the internet for the past couple of weeks. You get a chance to hear @HillJ09's thoughts around the photograph and whether or not he found it sexual or vulnerable. He also talks about his personal relationship with his best friend, and how sometimes holding back tears can be all too much for a strong Black man. Later, you get a chance to hear @HillJ09's definition of what he considers a good Black man to be!
Plan of Action:
1. Open yourselves up and identify Black/Brown boys or men that you confide in or would like to build a relationship with. If you admire them from afar, if your paths cross everyday or from time-to-time, and even if you currently consider them a friend, try sitting down with them an expressing your love for them. Ask them how they are really doing, and let them know how you are really feeling. Most importantly, tell them if you want to start having more real conversations with them, or even if you want to begin a strong relationship. It can all start from a simple compliment, and then just watch how it makes you feel.
2. Find a book centered around Black/Brown boys/men friendships. The book recommendation for this episode is "Boys Don't Cry" by Malorie Blackman.
3. Take a listen to another podcast that dissected their thoughts around the Jonathan Majors and Michael B Jordan photograph. Try adding the podcast "HIGHER LEARNING" with hosts Van Lathan and Rachel Lindsey to your cue!
