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

[@mamabear2181]

This almost had me in tears cause how do you create a safe place when you don't know how to. You want to be able to provide it for sure.

[@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.

[@shoo0c621]

I hope you're still here! I hope you thrive and live out your life

[@TheLemonsims]

I cried too bro

[@bryantdeshields1170]

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.

[@PrettyFinessa]

I’m sure this young man gets the respect he deserves, do you mean you want him to become popular or well shared ? I like my gems to be well kept secrets, like appreciated amongst his community because the ones that blow up change the format and ruin the magic, among other things. This young man deserves a particular type of crowd that genuinely respects and understands his craft & he’ll be just fine ❤

[@rebeccanicolas2557]

Do you have his information?

[@MunirVibes]

Im in Atlantic County and this is the first I ever came across him. I’m on a similar mission. Going to look him up.

[@almightyyotto]

I had to watch this twice. man man man.

[@holisticevolutioninc3550]

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

[@lindareed8265]

I always wish I could reach out to kids who are being destructive to themselves and others; I know it's because they're hurting inside. But I also have to accept that when they see that I'm not the same gender, age, color, or ethnicity as them, they'll be suspicious and doubtful. I get it, and I don't blame them. I guess the best way I can help them is to use my social privilege for good and support the people they WILL listen to and who make them feel safe. How can I support people like this speaker?

[@laquittapearson2052]

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!!

[@Mrsneekzlojik]

I don't often go through and listen to Tedx Talks, but this one...my family was there but I definitely dealt with some of the things here... I'm here for it...I want to help. Shared this video on LinkedIn too.

[@NateEvansJr]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and share

[@lindareed8265]

Just because a parent is there doesn't mean they're able to do the things you need. We're all a work in progress. My parents went through enormous struggles in themselves to end the generational cycles of abuse and mental health problems. In a way, it was a privilege to see that happen over the years and an honor to have parents who were strong enough to apologize to their children and make real changes. It CAN be done. It's not easy, but it's possible and necessary.

[@liamatsutv]

WOW! This needs to be seen by SOOOOOO many more people!

[@apc5755]

🦋🌎I hope Nate’s endeavors for emotional fluency and creating a safe space becomes nation wide and global. Thank you for addressing how intergenerational trauma, abuse and dysfunction needs to stop so the healing can begin.🦋🌎

[@HARSHKUMAR-bv3zv]

thanks Nate Evans Jr for motivating me i was feeling very low but after he changed my point off view to myself

[@NateEvansJr]

Grateful for you

[@NakiaToliber]

Thank you for sharing your story and shedding light on this very important topic that needs more attention!

[@ronanderson8490]

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."

[@TechTakeOver2023]

Or validation

[@CdmanChris]

This!!! So true. And we look up to people whom haven’t done the healing they need to

[@JohnDoe-pd4jo]

It’s deeper than this simple minded shii….

[@mshill2406]

Agreed and they take on a self centered attitude like those celebrities

[@MissNamaSlay]

Lacking positive influences will do that .

[@rodinmotion4331]

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.

[@lindareed8265]

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.

[@NateEvansJr]

I love her work!

[@CommunityDynamic]

[@Calmly-replied111]

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

[@PrettyFinessa]

51k in a year doesn’t seem bad. However people have to grow or want to grow to become emotionally fluent so they need to have in interest in this topic.

[@Infinite.motivation.01]

Whoever reads this I pray you become successful and happy in life!

[@cuzinlucky7836]

🔥

[@rebeccanicolas2557]

Hello! Is there anyway to get in contact with you to visit my school to speak to my boys?

[@lindareed8265]

He should just be automatically included in every school system's curriculum, at least one presentation a year, in every school district, with versions for different age groups.

[@jessespearman9234]

Does anyone have the link to the video of Corey and Noah he had screenshots of?

[@brienfarmer6846]

[@kennethjones7123]

💯

[@saraburns1675]

in young men, regardless of race or color, depression and anxiety present as ANGER

[@mshill2406]

Totally agree

[@lindareed8265]

Much of the time, yes. That's often the only "safe" way to express pain, especially in a patriarchal society. Men are humans, and vulnerability and emotion are part of being human. They deserve to live their full humanity.

[@JohnBoyJoy]

He got me until he brought up racism in freaking 2022. 🤡🤡🤡

[@suziesmith9076]

If you think racism disappeared you are the 🤡

[@lindareed8265]

Read Dr. DeGruy's book. You'll understand.

[@sasazamami]

This is BS

[@jamiewashington4319]

What does that mean? I"m not sure I understand?

[@kikataye6293]

@@jamiewashington4319 he’s pretty much not agreeing with this video for some reason

[@kentwaters5903]

Nate did a wonderful job pointing out a social problems that need to be addressed by parents , schools and mental health professionals. Nate needs to address these three groups in order to create the safe spaces that he is recommending
