25 Encouraging Affirmations for the Man You Love!

African American men face a litany of challenges daily. More than 75% of 135 men interviewed for a study on micro-aggressions, expressed experiencing a form of racism and/or discrimination during the course of any given day. Unfortunately, sometimes these transgressions happen within the walls of their own homes. African-American men postulate that words of affirmation from those closest to them have the ability to help propel them beyond the depth of anxiety and depression as they realize their efforts are appreciated and others see their full potential is within reach! These are just a few of the statements men find themselves drawn to.
