When you dress well, you feel better. When you feel better, you preform the daily tasks of life more proficiently. I also believe that style is a way to express, and show your individuality. Clothes don't make the man. But, clothes add a layer of personality, and your appearance is the first thing people pay attention too. Therefore, dressing well is extremely important to me. In this blog post, I will show you some major keys on how to dress, or even if you know how to dress well, then I will give you some of my inside tips. 1. My personal style To understand this type of style guide, I want to start by addressing my personal style. As a young black male, we are judged and unfairly seen in a negative light. To me, no matter what I wear, I will still be seen in whatever manner people want to see me as for that moment. However, I believe that when dressing well, we are extremely more confident and in control. Independent studies show, people who dress well are seen as more m...

I sat at my computer, and I logged on to Twitter. To my shocked, yet unsurprised emotions, another Black Man was killed in America. Once again, another hashtag was created. A father of children, and a provider killed again. His name was, no IS Mr. Alton Sterling. Mr. Sterling like I stated above was a father, and a man just trying to do what he could to be what he knew was being a man. In addition, as I read his case and looked at him. Something got me, and hit me hard. His stature and expressions reminded me of yet another case of a Black Man being killed that broke my heart: Mr. Eric Garner. Both men, simply doing the American way is of Entrepreneurship to make ends make. To take care of their families. However, both are gone to soon. Mr. Sterling is another case of the plight of being a Black Man in America. However, the situation and the state of my emotions got worse. Before I could even grief or disgust the case of Mr. Sterling murder, I heard that possible another black man wa...

As you have heard the sad news by now, the great Muhammad Ali has passed on. He was laid to rest yesterday. When I say passed on, he has moved on to another journey. To another place to inspire, love, encourage, and communicate without bounds or limits. Mr. Ali is free yet again. I don't have to say what Mr. Ali meant to me. Just from past articles, tweets, and videos, you guys already know what he meant to me. He was a inspiration, hero, mentor, and someone to look up to and listen; learning and hanging on to has every word. Even if those words were 50 years old, they still hold relevance to this very day. I am keeping this post short, because no true words can describe what he meant to me, to all of us. However, I will end this post like this. Heroes are remembered, but legends never die. Therefore, he was the greatest legend ALL-TIME. And, he will live on as long as WE as a PEOPLE are still ALIVE!!!!! Rest Easy Champ!!!!!!!

Yo, what good family!!!!!!!!!!! Been a while seen I made a post. I hope everything is well and progressing in your life. I have now finished finals and now I am heading into this summer with the most quickness. Anyway, I never disappear from the surface, you can always find me on Twitter: @BrownBrotherWeb or YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSNiyryvOpwPgzip6athbMQ Anyway, I wanted to talk about the importance of being your biggest motivator, encourager, and promoter. In this cold and crazy world, you will find that you have to be your biggest fan. Few in this world will love you like your mom. And, only ONE loved you before your mother was even born  (The One Universal GOD). So, I say this to simply say, you must be able to love yourself. To uplift and be confident in your abilities. Doing all of this without at times the pat on the back from friends. Only you can unlock your full potential. Only you can truly find the most complete and best state of your...

For years people of color have been fighting. Fighting, screaming, crying, longing, begging, demanding, and peacefully asking to be treated fairly. However, with much sorrow and defeat, the call for equal treatment has been met with a unmistakable harsh NO. If you think I wrong, name all of the twitter hashtags of young black people killed in America. You can't, because there are to many to count. To many to individually grieve for and hurt for because of their untimely deaths. To many to individually solve and eventually figure out why. In cases like these, there are more questions than answers. As a adult you try to figure out the situation for yourself. Try to digest and process your emotions. However, on top of all that, you have eyes looking at you. A child, young sibling, or cousin. In other words, someone more innocent and at times more emotionally vulnerable than you. After years of heart-breaking verdicts, and just living this unfair and hard like, we adapt. We grow th...

Hi, its April 1st. So, new month and new results are here. It is time to seize the moment, while it is here right now. Anyway, I want to talk about a new campaign/project we are working on. If you follow the Brown Brother on twitter: @BrownBrotherWeb , you will see we got some good things going on over there. If your not following us, you are missing out. Because we have yet another hashtag that we are doing to raise awareness. However, instead of raising awareness for a injustice, we are doing one to spread positivity and prosperity. The hashtag that we have started is #PositiveBlackMan #PositiveBlackMan is a hashtag that was created to counter the negativity that is attached to the black male through the media, propaganda, and untrue, yet active stereotypes that have been around longer than any one of us. So, this hashtag is basically self-explanatory. Every day at various times, we tweet out two positive images of Black Males of any and all ages. We balance the negativit...
