#BlackMenSmiling
#BlackMenSmiling is similar to #BlackBoyJoy. Images of black men smiling from ear-to-ear are being shared on social media and I’m loving it. #BlackMenSmiling is the right way to start Black History Month. Comedian Dennis Banks started the trend from his Twitter account @felonious_munk.
Mustafa Shabazz watched the great love of his life slip from this world to the next during birth. What did he do? He processed the emotions, developed a deeper appreciation for life and now showers his son in love & light. Stay blessed, Mustafa. #blackmensmiling pic.twitter.com/6CH3PHWi4v— ESSENCE (@Essence) February 4, 2018
