Rap is Rap n Rappers are Rappers…he’s in MY Top 5 n prolly some of your favorites as well…he rocks with a few upstanding niggas in Chicago I rock with too…so when I get the opportunity to be around I never overly exert myself but I offer what I have to offer n keep it movin (I didn’t even request this pic) but that’s ME!!! Any fan of mine can hear where I get some of my inspiration from and I always give him his acknowledgement (Flowers I Guess 🤷🏾♂️) whenever I get the chance to BE THERE…

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This clip discusses depression, grief and suicidal ideation. Please take care of yourself while watching.
Guiding Question: How did Greg cope?
This clip reveals a truth we don’t talk about enough in our community: so many Black men grew up without the option of therapy, without emotional language, and without safe places to express or filter trauma, grief, or even joy.
What you see here is a man naming, for the first time, what therapy helped him finally understand, his battle with depression, the suicidal thoughts that emerged from unprocessed grief, and the extraordinary strength it took to fight his way through it.
As we honor the lives of those lost to death by suicide, we also honor the courage it takes for a man to say this out loud.
This is what healing looks like.
This is what freedom sounds like.
And this is why these conversations matter.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: Child Loss | Grief
This clip captures Greg recounting the day his son passed to SIDS, a moment no parent should ever have to relive.
It’s raw. It’s heavy. And it deserves to be approached with care.
I’m sharing this piece of his story with deep respect for the truth he chose to speak. If you choose to watch, pause before you press play. Breathe. Move gently.
Hold space for him.
Hold space for Destiny. #griefsupport #childloss #healingincommunity
There’s something powerful about a Black man remembering the moment he found out he was going to be a father. The shock. The joy.
Greg shared that moment with us, the first time he heard he was expecting. Pure happiness. A softness Black men rarely show.
We honor Black men who love deeply, who cry when life shifts, who look forward to fatherhood with hope in their chest.
