“The character of me,
is tied to my honesty.
Authenticity is built into the foundation of me.
In order for people to know who I am,
I have to be a man of my word.
Promises get broken; however, accountability,
mends them.
All talk and no action,
doesn’t build trust.
Being a man of your word; truth in action,
proof in action.
Nothing is guaranteed,
but there is peace in knowing that you say what you mean.
You are trusted.
Relied on.
You are solid.
A man of your word.—”

This piece was inspired by the poem on the left and right of the image. To show authenticity within one’s self and also highlight black men.
