Do Black Men Cry? is a storytelling and community-engagement project centered on Black men’s mental health, emotional vulnerability, addiction, healing, and resilience.
Through memoir, writing, speaking, and public conversation, the project challenges the silence many Black men are taught to carry. It creates space for honest dialogue around depression, trauma, alcoholism, grief, family, faith, and the long journey toward healing.
This project is rooted in lived experience and cultural truth. Its mission is to help people feel seen, understood, and less alone—while encouraging Black men and the communities who love them to talk more openly about pain, vulnerability, and restoration.
