Emotional Fluency: The Language Black Boys aren't Taught | Nate Evans Jr. | TEDxWhiting

Nate Evans Jr. discusses an issue within black communities that persists due to the lack of mental health awareness. Nathan Evans Jr. is a First-Generation High School & First-Generation College graduate. He creates experiences for apprehensive students to feel worthy when they are waging a war in their mind. Nate is a #1 best-selling author, a highly requested speaker, mindset coach and podcast host. He also is a youth mentor and educational consultant. He lives by the quote, "CHANGE WHAT WE NORMALIZE™” which was inspired by his mission to eradicate the stigmas around mental health amongst Gen-Z. This passion was birthed by his own battles with mental health issues as a teen and young adult due to childhood trauma in which he overcame. With this motivation, he has developed workshops for high schools, colleges and non-profits based around mental health, emotional wellness and resilience. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    It’s a shame that this young brother doesn’t get the recognition and respect he deserves in Atlantic County , NJ . Keep up the good work.

    I’m sure this young man gets the respect he deserves, do you mean you want him to become popular or well shared ? I like my gems to be well kept secrets, like appreciated amongst his community because the ones that blow up change the format and ruin the magic, among other things. This young man deserves a particular type of crowd that genuinely respects and understands his craft & he’ll be just fine ❤

    We also lack emotional fluency because we have a subsect in our community who allow celebrities, sports stars to be our heros, and this deep attachment to pop-culture and obsession of trying to be viewed as "cool."
