So true

Definitely.

That's wonderful to hear. Thank you so much

I already have ;)

Man... I am weeping as I watch this

I have chills

We're glad you took something so positive from their relationship. Thank you for sharing something so insightful.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your prayers and your thoughts.

Keith Walker I pray that you beat this thing. God is bigger than your mountains. Continue to find joy in everyday. I sincerely hope you're doing well.

Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all His benefits- Who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from the pit. psalm 103:2-4. Keith Jesus is the I AM, the healing you seek and He is waiting for you. I pray that Jesus comes with his healing hand and remove every cancer cell, every sickness that is in your body. In Jesus mighty name i pray. Keith belive that Jesus is able. Thank You Father. Amen

Thank you so much for your kind words and the prayers!

Oh hi Keith! You welcome, we could all use some positivity :)

Keith Walker Hope you're doing well! I wish for you perfect health! I know you get tired but you're worthy of a beautiful life. Lean on JaRon during the hard times. Best wishes!!

We're very glad that our videos have such an impact on you and that you can relate to them on a personal level. :)

word.

I wish more men were having this convo as well. Thank you so much for your kind words

Thank you so much, Summer. I really, really appreciate your kindness. Thank you

Keith Walker you put of a very kind and genuine energy. It's amazing that you are breaking the habits of your father and healing your self. I don't know if you've heard of him but you should research Dr.Sebi. :) love in all the ways

Thank you so much!

absolutely! I wish more men felt comfortable talking about their feelings. By the way, I love your music!

Keith Walker thank you so much for listening. Some things were mentioned about macho masculinity amongst black men that if it were spoken of more openly, more would understand it. I love that you spoke about each others qualities and could discuss what masculinity means to you as individuals and not the world.

Thank you so much

Thank you for sharing and we appreciate the love and support you're throwing our way!

I actually love that documentary! I've been recommending that to all of my friends!

Thank you for sharing! Breaking gender roles is extremely important and should be pursued further. Help us share more couples and spread more love by sharing our Kickstarter with your friends and family!

I have been watching your series since I found Anne Hathaway and Robert Dinero's episode! I have showed my family, but I will definitely talk to them about your new Kickstarter. I love this project!!! I wish I lived in New York!

I'm sorry you never had the chance to confront your guardian. Don't let that deter you from being the best possible version of yourself. I would encourage you to journal, ask yourself what would you say to that person who let you down as a kid; it's not your fault. Thanks for sharing your story

I didn't expect to get any responses to my comment, let alone from the person I was talking about so this really made my day ! Thank you so much for your advice, I'll take it and try to grow with it. I hope you're doing well

My pleasure! By the way, I really loved your artwork! Keep creating!

Thank you so much !! I will :-)

Thank you! Help us continue to make more content! theskindeep.com/kickstarter/

We're so glad you found us. Make sure to check out the trailer to our new series, The Window! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jtWhiJimpszTmH0.html

The Skin Deep i wanna come on this show with my daughter asap

The Skin Deep Please tell me, how can I be a part of this beautiful mission. I subscribed of course, and I will give as well.....but as a cancer survivor this story touches me and I too have a story!!! Please be in touch! Thanks.

We're so glad you think so! Definitely take a moment to check out Keith on our new series, The Window: bit.ly/TheWindowKeith

If you could speak to Keith now, what would you say? Are there things you believe Keith could tell you?

I am not sure if he would say anything different to me. However, I would ask if he had the need to suppress his cancer (or feelings, vulnerability) due to masculinity and race? Did it make it harder to relate to others? For example, because of the stigma of the "Strong Black Woman Syndrome" people thought I was fine, people assumed I am strong. It didn't leave me room to be vulnerable because of the Stigma. I would want to know if he has ever felt that way during his battle with Cancer. I would not wish Cancer on my worst enemy. I am in remission now. Tuesday was my last treatment.

Hey Valerie, thank you so much for taking the time to reach out to me! I definitely felt the need to suppress my cancer due to masculinity. Not so much because I am a black man but when you're in your 20s and 30s people tend to think that they are immortal. I never wanted to be the buzzkill that ruins the mood. Relating wise, all of my friends are amazingly empathetic! Sadly, no one can truly know what we go through. To be honest, explaining how dating works when you have cancer has been the most challenging. Earlier tonight, I even received a message saying she was not interested because of cancer. I find that we spend too much time caring what others think of us. Many moons ago I went out with my friends, whilst, hanging with them a pain shot up my back but I decided to stay quite. As we were walking I let my fear of what my friend might think of me get in the way of my own safety and ended up in the hospital. There are no simple answers when it comes to living with cancer. I can definitely tell you that first, you have, to be honest with yourself, only then will you allow yourself to be open to others about your pain.

Thank you so much Keith for responding. I appreciate it. I hope all continues to be well for you.

+Ilaisha Sylaire Were incredibly touched that this video is helping you in a difficult time. Thank you for sharing your touching story.

IIaisha, I am so sorry to hear about your boy friend's diagnosis. It's okay to be scared, it's okay to not have all the answers; Feel everything you're feeling and write it down. I'm honored that you found something within this video that helped you and I pray that your journey together will be full of love, honesty, and communication. If you both want to message me, feel free to reach out! Wishing you both the best!

Thank you so much for watching us and supporting us and we're incredibly happy you connected with Keith and his story. We hope you enjoy the rest of the first season of The Window and watch every Thursday!

Thank you so much for your kind words! You're amazing on your own; empathy is the thread that binds us all together. Have a great day!

We're so glad! What do you take away the most from these conversations?

The Skin Deep, what do I take away. Some perspective about myself, I am always hard on myself about certain things, and that I need to stop and relax. Hope that it will work out.

Thank you for such an insightful comment! What do you believe is one of the biggest takeaways from this video and their relationship?

I don't know if there is one specific take away. I think that the video shows viewers that two men can have an extremely deep and real relationship - with all the emotions! That men can be compassionate and sensitive to each other without having to be weird about it. It makes me realize that I want all my close relationships (with friends, family or romantic relationships) to be this open and natural.

Thank you so much for watching!

Thank you!
