Image Description:

Slide 1:

A white background at the top with the title “TALK Tool” in blue text. Under is black text “Conversation Examples”

Top right: BEAM logo with the words “Black Emotional and Mental Health Collective” in blue and yellow text.

Top left: “Black Masculinity (re)imagined” in blue and yellow text. Four rows of black text underneath with yellow backgrounds of different shades.

Row 1: “T - Take time to pause, name feelings, and make space for conversation.” “Hey, I have been feeling unappreciated lately. I know this might not be your intention, when would be a good time for us to chat about it?” Image on the right of a brown heart.

Row 2: “A - Affirm and validate each other’s feelings. Ask open ended questions for understanding.” “I can only imagine how difficult this has been for you; holding that must be tough. What would it look like for me to better support you with this?” Image on the right of a Black person with a blue shirt.

Row 3: “L - Listen with intentions of working together instead of defensiveness or control.” “I want to name that this is hard for me to hear, however, I am willing to further understand where you’re coming from so that I can show up for you in the ways you need.” Image on the right of a Black person with a green shirt holding their hand to their chest.

Row 4: “K - Keep it 100 and maintain respect for each person in conversation.” “I will work to be honest in this space and speak in I statements. If things get heated, let’s pause and agree to come back at a later time when we can show up with respect for each other.” Image on the right of a “100” in blue with two lines underneath.

At the bottom of the image are the words “Created by @leyroymitchell5454 and @yoloakili” in yellow text on a blue background.
