Black In The Days

We're BACK!!! Happy Juneteenth and father's day! 

We  are so happy to launch season 3 and to do so celebrating "freedom" with  Patrick Stephens, who after 24 years in prison was finally able to come home to his family. 

On this episode, we have a candid conversation with Patrick and his biggest supporter (his sister Alana ). We discuss accountability for harm caused, the legal system as it is and Patrick's hope for the future.  This is a special episode and we are so excited to share Patrick's perspective with our listeners. Please check him out at www.doingsorry.com and follow Alana @alanacherie_realtor on IG

LIfe is constantly changing.  Sometimes we are forced to rest and sometimes that dream that you had years ago (and in Elkin’s case 4 years ago), finally comes into fruition. In this week’s episode, Elkin & Robin share life updates and their thoughts on the inhuman treatment of Haitian migrants at the border.

In this week’s episode we continue the conversation on Confidence & Humility with resident guest expert Dr. Lauren Jospehs. We discuss the barriers to building confidence, strategies to build confidence and how humility is an essential part of confidence.  We make the clear distinction on what humility really is to us vs.  what the world wants it to be for us.  As always, we talk about how can we show up for others? What is our role, if any, in building up our community’s confidence. 

You hear the phrase be CONFIDENT… while also being encourage to practice humility. Well, what does all of that mean? Where and how do we learn to be confident?  What does practicing humility and or confidence look like? On this week’s episode Elkin & Robin discuss both  their own personal journeys in discovering (which is ongoing ) confidence. 

We also share some pretty amazing quotes/affirmations. 

Okay okay okay…. It’s been a while. Honestly, we’ve had a lot going on, but we are so happy to be back. In this episode we catch you up on our lives. We discuss health,  boundaries and rest. 

It’s been a minute y’all. Honestly, we are booked and busy (the productive kind). But we couldn’t let this month go by without this discussion. May is mental health awareness month and our focus is on Black men. Our guests share their healing journeys. We discuss what therapy has meant for their lives and lessons learned along the way. This is a conversion that is filled with vulnerability and insight we hope  will motivate you to start your own journey towards optimal mental health. The conversation is so good, we had to do 2 parts. This is part 1. 

We continue our conversation with Geo and Marjorie on their experiences carrying for their children. What is like to co-parent? How do they plan fo the future? 

April is Autism “acceptance” month and we have the honor of speaking with two amazing parents who discuss their journey of raising kids with super powers. Join us for an enlightening conversation that we hope will spark important dialogues in your communities.

In this week’s episode Elkin & Robin discuss  how we do relationships with expert guest Cherlette McCullough.  Cherlette  is a licensed therapist and helps individuals and families address the barriers to healthy successful relationships.
