As a man, and especially as a Black man, I believe it's essential to step out of the shadows and stand firmly against misogyny. I want to make it clear that I am supporting Kamala Harris. The idea of a woman leader doesn't threaten my sense of manhood; in fact, it fills me with pride to see a woman, a sister, achieve such remarkable heights. Character, integrity, and public behavior are what truly matter. Those who remain silent in the face of tyranny and threats to peace, tranquility, and democracy risk being shackled by the oppressive forces they fail to oppose.
These convictions align with the fundamental qualities that I have been taught my entire life from my grandparents, parents, family, community, church, school, the military, activism and masonry. All these people and great American institutions have taught me to strive for high moral standards, kindness at home, courtesy in society, honesty in business, and fairness in all dealings. I was taught to universally practice charity and to care not only for one another but for the entire community, the country and world through giving and volunteer efforts. Together, we should be working to help each other become better and to forge a better world.
That is the Future i want for not just myself but for my children, community and world.
