TRIGGER WARNING: (Abuse, Trauma, child abuse, sexual abuse.) [Language warning] Quit Giving Outs. ... I can scarcely put into words the feeling in my gut, as I read or hear "Your parents did their best." It is excruciating to hear that the best Lenny could do was moleste me. Because in effect, that is what is being said. Outloud that sounds absolutely horrendous doesn't it? MORTIFYING even!! So why would you ever consider it okay to say to someone? Not only do you invalidate their ENTIRE experience, the nightmares and horrors... You give a pass to the very reason for the nightmares in the first place! It is not only reckless, but it is dangerous to invalidate a trauma survivors lived experience. You could set them back, or worse, set them off. Passing off empty platitudes like that stupid phrase above, shouldn't not be taken as lightly as we do. For my sake, and the sake of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of people's sake... Give it some thought. #cantstopwontstop #PTFFitness #fitness #yeg #edmonton #yegfitfam #yegfitness #yegmentalhealth #vulnerability #community #love #support #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mensmentalhealth #YouAreNotAlone #EndTheStigma #SameHere #Survivor #Warrior #PTSD #PostConcussionSyndrome #yeggers #Strong

I am both beside myself and absolutely honored that @cbc used my B-roll to create a dope intro for @thelipscombe being spotlighted for their @cbcbeingblackincanada series! Another side note is the level of "holy shit" as well as a heavy dose of being humbled seeing a piece of my speech in there as well! National. TV. Excuse me?! Blessed to work with Jesse and grow in my own mission every day! ... 2021 is going to be wild... Are you ready?! ----------------------------------- Reposted from @cbc Jesse Lipscombe is an award winning actor and producer, turned activist. He was the target of racial slurs while filming a commercial. That incident propelled him to set up the advocacy group - Make It Awkward.| @cbcbeingblackincanada

60 Seconds of Dangerous Belief Wherever you are at the moment I would love it if you could take 60 seconds to think about how powerful, how beautiful, how jovial your life would be if you loved yourself to your core. Imagine what you could do if you believed in yourself wholly and willfully every day. Ooooo there would be some dangerous people out there. ... Why dangerous? Because unabaded self love creates world changers. Because stepping into the belief that nothing can stop you, stepping into the power that is not letting criticism slow you down or stop you all together... Because the darkness that fills this world cannot STAND against someone who's light is lit by an unfailing belief in themselves... So why not take 60 seconds and picture what that looks like for you... And maybe... Just maybe... Take that first step towards going after that mindset. As always, I love you guys! #ImDangerous Grace and Peace, Ethan #cantstopwontstop #PTFFitness #fitness #yeg #edmonton #yegfitfam #yegfitness #yegmentalhealth #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mensmentalhealth #YouAreNotAlone #EndTheStigma #SameHere #Survivor #Warrior #PTSD #PostConcussionSyndrome #yeggers #yegmentalhealth #Strong

Listening to an Audiobook called Black Magic by @chadsand right now and it's opening my eyes on how to lead as a mixed race man. Something that caught me in the chest this morning was "I stopped tiptoeing around my blackness. I stopped hiding my blackness." So today I thought I'd share with you what my Wednesday hair care looks like. The DreadHawk takes maintenance to keep the hair healthy(yes I said HEALTHY), and the Dreads tight! Sundays is the hot shave and Gel&Twist (sta...y tuned for that in the coming weeks), but mid week it's Oil and Twist! There, now you've got to experience a small piece of black culture. Smile, for today is a good day!! A HUGE shoutout again to Felisha at Phoenix Hair Salon for working with me the last year! Gifting me the experience of my own culture, that which was taken from me at an early age, and kept from me until February last year. She walks be through upkeep, throws it down in a new style every visit, and allows me the space outside her studio to be proud of my blackness. Go show that human some love!! The DreadHawk is her design! And another to Zen Lion Design for the badass crew neck. Local business that directly supports and elevates the black community with her Apparel!! #Black #Blackness #BlackAndProud #MixedRace #BlackHistoryMonth #SupportCulture #DreadHawk #BlackMan #BlackAndMasculine #dreadlocks #BLM #BlackLivesMatterAlways #MoreThanJustAMonth #ManOfColor #BlackCulture #RaisedFist #yeg #edmonton #publicspeaking

QUICK LITTLE REMINDER!!! BE. KIND. TO. ONE. ANOTHER! #cantstopwontstop #PTFFitness #fitness #yeg #edmonton #yegfitfam #yegfitness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mensmentalhealth #YouAreNotAlone #EndTheStigma #SameHere #Survivor #Warrior #PTSD #PostConcussionSyndrome #yeggers #yegmentalhealth #Strong

60 Second Reminder! IT'S ALL BULLSHIT! IT'S ALL LIES! YOU ARE NOT SOMEONE ELSE BROKENNESS! Someone NEEDS to hear this today. All those "you cant's", "you wont's" "you arent's"... Are all bullshit. It's not true! ... If those voices come from external sources... You are hearing someone else's self hate and broken dreams. You are hearing the aftermath of someone killing it in them. SO DON'T LET THEM KILL IT IN YOU! If those voices are internal... You are hearing the voices of lived trauma, broken hope, lost faith... None of which are yours to hold... SO PUT THAT SHIT DOWN AND GROW!! I love you guys!
