Thank you to Netgalley, the publishers and of course the author for gifting me this advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

Fantastic! I downloaded this as I wanted to read it to see if I could gain a better understanding of my nigerian husband and the ways in which I can support him better, before I hand the book over to him to read. Such an important script as trying to navigate in today's society as a man must be tough, but to navigate as a black man comes with its own additional set of challenges.

Thank you for such an inspiring and thought provoking book.

I had several reasons for wanting to read this book. I hoped it would improve my communication with my husband and that he might also find it beneficial. I genuinely enjoyed the book. The stigma associated with African Americans seeking therapy, especially for black men, is a terrible cycle that needs to be broken. If this book can serve as a starting point for healing, it's a wonderful step.

As a person in therapy, both in my personal life and marriage, and as a person of color, I had to persuade my reluctant husband to join me. However, it's essential to break destructive cycles for ourselves and our children.

A book like this holds immense potential. It offers African American men/ people of color a better opportunity to connect with their emotions.

I cannot emphasize enough how much I recommend this book, and my husband shares the same sentiment.

I'd like to express my gratitude to Jor-El Caraballo and NetGalley for granting us the chance to read this book. When it's released, my family will purchase a physical copy.
