I didn’t really know what to expect when I dove into Alisha’s AirBnB for Shy, Sensitive Black Men and I can say that it surprised me in the best ways.
Black men aren’t always raised to be open and vulnerable with their feelings. Especially Black men like Tariq and his friends, Adante and Kendis. These men have known each other since middle school and bonded over the lack of strong male leadership in their homes. Even with their history, Tariq expects to be made fun of for the major life change he’s decided to undergo. It’s only when his friends offer him sympathy and support that he knows that they really are his safe space.
It’s his boy Adante that tells him about Kisha, a healer who runs a small bed and breakfast in their home state of Georgia.
Tariq takes a leap of faith and books a stay at Kisha’s B&B where he learns how to connect emotionally and how to communicate your wants to others.
It’s a journey of self-love and exploration. 4.5⭐️
