International Men’s Day 2025

November 19th is International Men’s Day

🙌🏼Celebrating Men and Boys

Men are a vital part of society. Oftentimes, they do not receive the recognition and care that they deserve. So many of our men are positive role models and exemplify just how important they are. Boys are just as important. They look up to their older counterparts for guidance, love, support, and care. As such, those same boys grow up to be the men who have shown their responsible side and remain productive men of society.

With challenges of today’s world, men are tested and tried every day. Just stepping outside their door, leaving home to go to work poses risks for some men. Facing racial profiling, and attempts on their lives just because of their skin color. Also, people may look at a man and assume that he is up to no good and is looking to rob or steal from them. Because of these challenges and the ones we may not know about, they deserve to be shown love, compassion and grace.

Today, remind the men and boys in your life about how they are special to you and that they matter. We see you and appreciate you. Although we might not know all your struggles; you are loved. We thank you for going out there and working to put food on the table, provide a roof for your family, love and support your friends and family alike. Doing it all in silence and not complaining. You carry what seems like the world on your shoulders, but you still keep it moving.

Mental health can be affected and there is nothing wrong with talking to someone, if you feel like life is overwhelming. Let’s celebrate our friends, sons, brothers, fathers, nephews, uncles, grandfather’s, cousins, and all the men/boys we can.
We thank you, respect you, love, and support you. We appreciate when you go out of your way to do something special for others. It does not go unnoticed.
Happy International Men’s Day! ♥️

The Eleventh Month

November, or the eleventh month is upon us. We only have one more month before the year 2024. Where does the time go? Speaking of time, we are gaining an extra hour this month for most of the states. The time is nearing to cast your votes for election day. Later this month people will celebrate Thanksgiving. Also, discover a new hip hop artist this month in honor of National Hip Hop month. International Men’s Day is this month too, so celebrate the men in your life. Black Marketers Day is also happening this month.

Nov 5

Daylight Savings Time Ends

It is time to gain an extra hour of sleep. That also means we have to say, goodbye to all the sunlight. Set your clock back an hour. If by chance you forget, you won’t have to worry about being late.

Nov 7-Election Day Cast your vote on election day. Check out what’s on the ballot in your state and local area.

Nov 16- National Black Marketers Day The focus of November 16 is to bring the Black community for marketing together. Networking and forming positive relationships around marketing industries occurs during this time. If you are interested in supporting the cause, check out events in your local area.

Nov 19-International Men’s Day Celebrate the positive men around the world. Even though men need to be celebrated every day, today is set aside especially for this important purpose. Oftentimes, the father’s, brothers, sons and nephews do not get the recognition they deserve. Being such important parts of life and the community, take the time to do something special to recognize the men in your life.

—–Theme for 2023-International Men’s Day

The theme for 2023 is Zero Male Suicide. A higher incidence of suicide by men compared to women is a reality. Partly because men are less likely to seek help for mental health concerns. If you see a man is struggling with depression, let him know where to get support. Let him know that you are there for him.

Nov 23-Thanksgiving What are you thankful for? Thanksgiving is when most people get together with family and have a big feast. Spending the day watching sports, playing cards and/or family games. Listening to music and whatever your family traditions are. Enjoy the day and count your blessings. Volunteering your time at a local shelter or food pantry is also a way to show your appreciation and gratitude for the blessings in life.

National Hip Hop History Month– In November we celebrate Hip Hop. This genre of music has deep and rooted history and has been around for years. Clothing, culture and art have all been influenced by Hip Hop. For those of us who have grown up listening to it, we have a deeper appreciation and fondness for it. Who is your favorite Hip Hop artist?
