In this episode of NGL Bruh, we're diving deep into what it really means for Black men to be creative. From cultural and family expectations to the weight of masculinity and vulnerability, we're unpacking why creativity doesn't always feel "safe" — and how that impacts how we show up in art, expression, and everyday life.

We sat down with our artist Armand to talk about his journey, his thought process behind designing the podcast's flyer, and the deeper connection between creativity, freedom, and resistance. We also explore how the "productivity trap" can pull Black men away from their creative side — and why representation in art and media matters now more than ever.

And of course, we end with our Ask Ya Bruh question: What would it look like if Black men felt just as safe being creative as they do being strong? Let us know what you think in the comments!

Not gonna lie bruh… you're gonna wanna hear this.
