Recipe For Change: Celebrating Black Men

[@createyourcorner]

My heart is full! Today's black man is not yesterday's black man. I hope these conversations are continuing all over. Whether over food, spades, or 2k, keep talking about it! 🎬

This needs to be a series! So many more black voices we need to hear from. Thank you Kev for sending us the link 🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬

[@TyGee777]

Yes! 💪🏾

[@dominiquet304]

We need more content like this! It’s crucial to black men. I see you Kev! 🎬🎬🎬

[@boochie808]

Yes and with the women. They need to make it a series!!

[@MrsPWThomas]

Yes indeed!

[@UniquelySheena]

I totally agree ❤

[@ramondomoye7559]

No doubt. Just sends goose bumps up my back, the goodness of this show, much needed 💙💙💙

[@bubbles5111]

It’s more black women in the comments then black men. It’s not a lie that black women should more love to black men then the other way around. They don’t like y’all like that

[@celesterae2154]

As a mother of a black son, these conversations are beyond needed and appreciated! Thanks for the experience! SK all day!! 🎬🎬🎬🎬

[@NayNayRobinson]

I came here to say the same. I’ve been divorced since my son was 4yo. I have to read, watch, listen, and learn how to raise a Black Male. I have not other choice but to be a Mom, and I’m tired of the saying “women can’t raise a boy to a man without a man” because it annoys me. Men say these things but they are mainly the ones who cause you to raise them alone. Stop forgetting that you’re still apart of the kid/kid’s lives. Plus, there are plenty successful men out here who were raised by single moms.

[@celesterae2154]

@@NayNayRobinson Oh don’t I hear you! I PROMISED my son’s bio-father that this little boy will NOT grow up to be a statistic and I’ll see to that with or without him. And I must say, at 25yrs old and 3 degrees and nearly at 6 figures, I stuck to my word WITHOUT him. We got this NayNay!

[@intherapture]

So glad KevonStage sent me here🎬. This was a beautiful demonstration of the diversity, dynamism and humanity of Black men. So proud of everyone involved in this production, and grateful that this representation exists to shift the pervasive negative narratives we are fed. It's a lie, this is the truth 🤎

[@1LocWonder]

Me too!!!

no representation for ur gay black brothas.

[@marquitaparahams]

This is an excellent watch. 3 tables full of successful black men from all walks of life; being open, honest, and vulnerable. Knocking down misconceptions and preconceived notions. And letting ppl know that black ppl are not a monolith. I love it! #StageKrew 🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬

[@candikellough]

❤ I absolutely loved this . I stumbled upon by accident. Bring more like this . The world alot of our young black boys need to see these positive, strong black men. Keep it coming

[@Anumie23]

Black men are not a monolith! They are as varied as any other race. 🖤🎬🎬🎬 p.s. So good to see Kev on here!!!!

[@blackman4121]

As a proud black man from the UK, let me first salute my American brothers for participating in this very refreshing (and very necessary) dialogue. I have so many thoughts and opinions swimming in around my head re the content of this program that I can't wait to share with my brothers over here. Black men, all over the world - I celebrate you. Stand tall Kings and walk in your purpose and destiny. ✊🏾

[@Induefashion]

I sent this to my little brother.. I’m raising him.. and it’s been hard for me to connect to him on certain things because I am a woman and it’s only so much I can teach him granted I have good intentions and I teach him what I know and my experiences but it’s nothing like hearing it from a man or men who is walking through life as a black man and have the same experiences that he struggles with who is walking the same walk he is walking.. thank y’all ❤

[@royaltyblessed2454]

Prayers to you as a older sister. He's blessed to have you as a guide. That job of being a woman raising a man is difficult and glad you take that responsibility seriously.

[@Induefashion]

@@royaltyblessed2454 thank you 😊

[@luzfynest08]

Man thank you KevOnStage for sending us here! I really enjoyed this so very much. BLACK MEN YOU MATTER! YOU ARE LOVED AND YOU ARE WORTHY OF GREAT THINGS!🎬🎬🎬

[@SoulDuJour]

Love to see black men having conversations of substance. 🎬🎬🎬

[@basheebrah3551]

Seeing the love in these comments, this is why I’ll always have love for black women, no matter what social media tries to show I know there are black women out there who got love and vice versa

[@deedee6854]

Beautiful Black Kings speaking their hearts and coming together. Love it. We support you.

[@t.angelgreen3239]

MORE of these conversations PLEASE! As a Black woman, I need to understand what the men in my life are dealing with, and they don't always open up. These fly on the wall perspectives really help me. Thank you! 🎬🎬🎬

[@sleepandmeditation9978]

Our black men need to be heard and praised. Love this!!! 🎬🎬🎬

[@TreyHope]

This was much needed. I didn't think this convo would go the places it did, but they covered a wide variety of topics that black men should discuss with one another on the regular. Kudos to everyone that was apart of this masterpiece.

[@sethiciatate5474]

This was so needed! Seeing Black Kings come together, speaking their truth from their hearts. I see you Beleaf, I see you Kev! 🎬🎬🎬

[@tyfdh9]

Without a DOUBT!

[@laraunl]

An awesome chat between a beautiful array of black men. The I AM segment at the end literally made me tear up 😢. We love you black men! 🎬🎬🎬🎬

[@Sylvia_531]

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one. So transparent. Daniel’s I am a free man and Bob the Drag Queen’s I deserve full equality, whew! Loved it

[@TheJoyOfLique]

🎬🎬🎬 YES KEV!!! In his hosting bag! And Bob up there giving multi-hyphen talent!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@stevonnefuller8265]

This was perfection. I laughed, cried and felt the love amongst Black men. KevOnStage you did it again! 🎬🎬🎬🦋🦋🦋

[@baldandblissful]

🎬🎬🎬 Beautiful seeing black men speak about their emotions, about the state of the world from their perspective. We need more of this ❤️❤️

[@mimib731]

This brought tears to my eyes 🥹❤ a powerful and much needed conversation! Some of my favorite black men in media brought me here: KevOnStage, Bob the drag queen, and Beleaf 💕 so happy to see them at the table.

[@NannaP27]

Stage Krew, great work Kev and a big hug to all the Black men taking part in the conversation!! 🎬🎬🎬❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@nalita09]

This is a great movement! Glad you were awarded the opportunity to play a part in it, @KevOnStage.

[@brittaneyhayes4227]

I love to see black kings expressing themselves 🎬🎬

[@beingdasiaa]

This was so powerful, I’m honored to even get a virtual seat at the table. Black men are so dehumanized that they are now labeled villains. I hope this goes viral just to change that narrative. We deem black men villains because of past trauma from maybe one or two people, not all black men are horrible. This was beautiful ❤

[@MylezNevison]

❤️🙏🏾✨️

[@Thatbul]

As a young black man, thank you for saying this. Social media is spreading this ideology that black men hate black women and that black women hate black men. We need a lot of healing in our community but I don’t think we hate each other. I’m 21 and all my life, black women have played a positive role in my life. I will always be grateful for them and make sure I do my part protecting them.

[@beingdasiaa]

@@Thatbul awwww that’s so sweet!! A real man protects his own!! I love to hear this❤️

[@ProperT4eva]

Okay Kev!! This is a much needed for our communities!!! Shout out to all these Men for coming together and take part in this. 🎬🎬🎬🎬

[@thekaerichtexas]

The bread pudding, the seafood potato, the oxtail, the rum cake...everything looks so good and incredibly black

[@kennishagreen1198]

I love seeing black men get together and discuss meaningful topics!❤🎬

Absolutely beautiful to see brothers come together, with great topics, wonderful dialogue. This shatters the myth that we can't come together. What a blessing. More of this content, PLEASE and Thank you! BTW, men do feel and hurt. I've seen it in my two adult sons. Bless each of you.

[@SickOfdaOrdinary]

👌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 this. This. This. Thank you for your vulnerability. Y’all were probably more emotional than me filming this. I just want to say. We see you black man and we still got you. Hopefully as women we can become a safer place to land and together we can melt in each others arms forever and alway. 💜🎬

[@Franksiretv]

This is great conversation. Hope to see more. As a black father: African immigrant raising black children in America, I look for ways to educate and raise my kids especially my son on how to live their full potential in this country. The way I was raised as an African in Africa is different and I’m glad i understand that.

This was beautiful. This was necessary. This was inspiring. This was impactful. This was our Black men and we love them!

[@tyk6817]

So beautiful to see the vulnerability of these men. I so happy to see them so open and honest.

[@theplug3102]

I’m grateful for Kevin & Beleaf on the topic about black women because they spoke the truth. Black women have been leading & taking care of black men all their lives, raising their children just to wake up and blame a black woman for everything that goes wrong in their life or society. Black men never wanna take accountability at the fact that they do not give black women that Grace they would another woman of a different race. Black women are the reason for a lot of stuff in today’s society. Y’all don’t give black women the love they deserve. Y’all don’t give black women the thing’s you will willingly give to another race of woman. It’s always the one you “Prefer” that gets those things. Nine times out of ten, it’s a racially ambiguous woman that you try to pass off as black. None of y’all date full black women & take care of her the way y’all jump hurdles for these money hungry racially ambiguous women. It’s already shown who’s the true gold diggers & who is the true support system when it comes to loving you at your lowest. A lot of black men dated black women when they didn’t have nothing to offer her, then once he gets to where he wanna be he drops her like a bad habit, & get with the woman that wouldn’t of paid him dust if he was broke. This is why black women hurt the way they do. Y’all don’t love them the way they love y’all & it’s utterly sad. I pray for my Black Queens. Black Women, you are the Standard 🔥♥️✨

[@bobbyleeg]

Nah.

[@evadburns]

@@bobbyleeg lol....

[@dsp8884]

Yea, not sure who wrote this, but it's so many blanket statements you could be a supplier for Bed Bath and Beyond. I am hesitant whenever Hollywood participants attempt to speak or present American black male focused material. It's usually layered with BW feminist talking points. It's all BW fault ?! Who says this ish? Both genders are coupable in the affairs of American Black community. Lack accountability falls more on ABW than ABM. Further, the voices on here are questionable. Blue vested the scammer, half breeds who can turn their black card on and off. Stop it. Talking in circles.

[@Ms_Aubrie]

💯❤💯❤💯❤💯

[@The.Whoever]

The responses to your comment is the very reason why I encourage BW to stop sharing their vulnerabilities with BM THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS. Go to therapy and move on with your lives without caring what BM think or feel about you.
