Black Men, Vulnerability & Accountability – A Deep Conversation with Black People Check In
In this powerful episode of the Black Canadian Creators Podcast, I sit down with Jermaine Morrison and Mandela Johnson — the unapologetic voices behind the Black People Check In podcast.
What started as a late-night Instagram Live during the George Floyd protests has grown into one of the most honest and necessary conversations in Canadian podcasting. Together, we explore the truth about vulnerability, accountability, and dismantling harmful systems in our communities.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- How Black People Check In began and why it resonated immediately
- The courage (and risks) of Black men being vulnerable
- Unlearning patriarchy and challenging misogyny in all its forms
- Raising daughters without outdated gender norms
- Why Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a powerful parenting tool
- The importance of creating brave spaces, not just safe spaces
💬 Quote: "Checking in isn’t a weakness — it’s a superpower." – Sherley
Black People Check In is a bold, unfiltered podcast where two Black Canadian men sit down to talk about the real issues shaping our communities — from mental health and patriarchy to fatherhood, culture, and accountability. What started as a late-night Instagram Live during the George Floyd protests has grown into one of the most honest and necessary conversations in Canadian podcasting.
Jermaine Morrison is a mental health clinician, social worker, and psychotherapist who brings a compassionate, therapeutic lens to every conversation. Mandela Johnson is a creative storyteller and cultural commentator known for his humor, directness, and willingness to say what others won’t. Together, they create a space where tough conversations are met with honesty, empathy, and the kind of perspective you only get from lived experience.
