Men struggle with body image, too! So why don't we really talk about it? On this episode, I sit down with my brotha Rico and we dive into our own journeys and struggles with body image, why we think men don't talk about it, and share some advice and encouragement from what we've learned as black men who struggle with body image. As always, we hope you feel seen by this episode wherever you find yourself in relationship to your body.

The answer to the question of what it means to be a man is still pretty elusive. On this episode, I sit down with my brotha, Trey Willis, and we attempt to parse through some aspects of manhood. We discuss the formation of masculinity, the impacts of our relationship, or lack thereof, with our fathers, and the sacrifice that comes as men show up for their families and in the world. We hope you feel seen in this episode, as we offer one perspective of the implications of manhood for black men.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend and colleague, Matt, and we talk about expressing emotions as black men. Specifically, we talk about the guidance, or lack thereof, we received in learning how to express emotions, why it is not acceptable in society for men to express their emotions, and the implications for us as men when we don't have a means to release and emote. We're all about knowing how you feel and learning how to express it, so I hope this encourages you to start to lean in more and be honest with yourself about where you really are.

In this episode, I sit down with my best friend, best man, and brotha, Justin and talk black men and community. We talk about the importance of having deep friendships and brotherhood with other black men, how friendships mirror other relationships, and navigating the seasonality of friendship. We spend a lot of time talking about the story and nature of our friendship, so I hope you take something from the episode to apply to your brothas! 

Check out our trailer for a new podcast with author, educator, and mental wellness advocate Brennan Allan Steele as the host.

On this podcast, we hold and create space for black men to breathe. By breathing we mean being whole, fully ourselves, as well as open and vulnerable without the pressures we feel as black men in our personal lives, professional lives, and society in general.
