‘I feel like the most important thing for my child, especially as a black man, is for him to be able to express himself – freely and openly, whatever that feeling is. If you cry and cry that shit out, we good – it’s OK not to be OK. It’s OK to be great, it’s OK to be happy – whatever you feel, just drop that shit, cause I’m gonna be here to catch you every time. Model @slickwoods talks to #movingLOVE about the life-changing perspectives that have come with the responsibilities of motherhood.
