The thread we didn’t know we needed!
A Twitter thread of Black men smiling is all the joy you need this Black History month.
Black Twitter is back at it again! This time, singer Durand Bernarr took to the popular social media app to sprinkle a little #BlackBoyJoy.
“I wanna start a thread of seeing Black men smiling. Extra points if you cheesing. I’ll go first,” he captioned a picture of himself in a black shirt and jacket combo, necklace and smile in tow.

Bernarr circled back around after the thread blew up to thank everyone for participating in his Black boy joy project, taking a moment to remind Black men just how much they are appreciated.
“I’m so proud of y’all, man. This is what the world needs to see. I appreciate the group effort. I love you, Black men! We are necessary and worthy of love,” he wrote.
