Thoughts of a Black Man looks at masculinity through the lens of the sitter taking an introspective approach. Black men have a different social reality from their female counterparts. Themes of leadership, feelings, beliefs. They are familial, resilient, knowledgeable independent, attentive responsible. Thoughts of a Black Man magnifies the sitters voice.
