A Man Like Me: My Journey to Manhood Paperback – October 14, 2020
by Marlvis (Butch) Kennedy (Author)
In:1st Corinthians chapter 13 verse 11It states: When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.Truth is when I became a man at eighteen I didn’t know what to do. Ya see all my life I was raised to believe that to be a man you have to be brave, strong, a protector, a provider, and never show weakness or emotion but most of all never cry.As I think about that today, I remember the words of Malcolm X “You've been had” “You’ve been took!” “You’ve been hoodwinked” “Bamboozled! led astray! Run amuck!” “We didn’t land on Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock landed on us.”Everything I learned about being a man was a lie. So where do I go from here?
