He wants to make his contribution to ending the cycle and diminishing the stereotypes by exposing the world to another face of the Black man.” Carter and I unpack that.     The advocate and activist reveals that at age 14, he became homeless; his childhood was challenging and filled with dysfunction. Next, he describes his journey to become his authentic self: a transgender individual, and how it impacted him emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.     However, Carter persevered, completing high school and college. But he hit an unexpected minefield, and the American Dream blew up in front of his eyes. He vividly details that egregious and painful circumstance.     We soon discover that the experience is the perfect segue for an in-depth evaluation of Black Transmen. The founder and national director explains the necessity of the organization, and talks more about its vision and mission.     2024 is the eleventh year of the only National Black Trans Advocacy Conference, a unique educational and empowerment program event.  Carter gives us the full monty on the conference, to be held in Dallas, Texas, from April 23-28.     We then turn to the subject of stigma, and its deep impact on Black transmen.      I ask the advocate and warrior for Black transmen precisely why he believes that he was called to be a leader in the movement for Black trans rights. His response shows that Mr. Brown is the epitome of a “Profile in Courage.”     Get ready for another absorbing and astounding installment of WYATT!  Simply put, this is yet another reason why WYATT! is "Eargasm Fo' Tha Grown Folks!"        And remember: there ain’t NO doubt about it.  https://lnkd.in/ecDkEMQ7

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, marks a pivotal moment in American history. On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce the end of the Civil War and proclaim the freedom of enslaved African Americans. This announcement came two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, which had officially outlawed slavery in the Confederate states on January 1, 1863. The delayed implementation of this landmark decree underscores the long and arduous journey toward true freedom and equality. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #EmancipationDay #BlackHistory #Equality #Justice #Wellness #CBD4MyWellbeing #SupportBlackOwnedBusinesses #CelebrateFreedom #CommunityHealing #HolisticHealth #AdvocateForChange #blacklinkedin, #blackatwork, #blackprofessionals, #blackcommunity, #blackculture, #blackgirlmagic, #blackexcellence, #blackcoworkers, #blackemployees #blackonboarding

Juneteenth holds significant historical and cultural importance in the United States. It marks the day when Union General Gordon Granger's announcement in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, effectively freed the last enslaved individuals in the Confederate states, nearly two and a half years after President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. This delay in freedom reaching Texas symbolizes both the challenges of communication during that era and the profound impact of slavery on African American communities.
