The Brand of the Black Man Part II The Ultimate Measure of a Man..Shaundell

- Self-Improvement
The image of the Black man needs a branding campaign. We are not only gifted physically. But, we have extraordinary gifts beyond our physical strength. The responsibility for this brand lies within the African American community. However, we need everyone to start telling a different story about the Black man. It has not been accurate. In fact throughout history Black men who are inventors, pioneers and major contributors to American history have been omitted from history books and added as a "throw in" during Black History Month.
This podcast will give you insight into why the branding problem exists and what can we do as society to fix it. In addition, we want to change the narrative permanently. While I think the tragic murders of our young black men needed to get media attention. I do believe that we are lacking in coverage of the great black men who are not dealing with the law in a negative way. That fuels the image of the Black man being someone who is always in handcuffs and in trouble with police officers.
We have to be the change that we want to see in the Brand of the Black Man.
