How Jaden Smith And The #Carefreeblackboy Movement Are Redefining Black Masculinity

How Jaden Smith And The #Carefreeblackboy Movement Are Redefining Black Masculinity, Smith's design sense has cocked eyebrows before - last June he was spotted wearing an all white Batman suit to Kim and Kanye West's wedding, and has following worn the suit to his own prom. Regularly, the high schooler has been snapped by paparazzi in skirts and dresses, and this year at Coachella he wore a bloom crown in his hair.

The high schooler's fashion decisions may be astounding to some, yet it speaks to the energizing new routes in which youthful dark men are testing thoughts regarding manliness. On the off chance that youthful dark ladies like Zoe Kravitz, Solange Knowles, Zendaya, and Willow Smith have turn into the blurb young ladies of #carefreeblackgirl, then dark young men and men including Jaden Smith, Frank Ocean, Jussie Smollet, and Dev Hynes are the embodiment of the #carefreeblackboy.

At the point when Jaden Smith wears a dress to prom, when Jussie Smollett posts a feature of himself singing as loud as possible while driving, it wears down the negative pictures of dark men that have overwhelmed for so long - an update that dark men are not a stone monument, and darkness is continually evolving. In the period of Ferguson and Baltimore, the thought of a cheerful dark kid is not just essential, its radical.
