Carrrnversations

My new book is titled Dear Black Parent , A letter from your Child's teacher. So on this episode of the Dear Black Parents series, Sbo Ngubane and I speak about Black Parenting. She shares her experience with her mother and her fears and pain about being raised by a black parent. This is a very heartfelt carrrnversation because it speaks to the many issues that most of us feel but are not always comfortable sharing. This will resonate with many people.

In this final episode of season 2 we talk about relationship standards . The debate here is whether or not we should have relationship deal breakers when we ourselves are flawed. 

This is a brilliant conversation featuring a new guest , Kwazi Dlamini , on the burden of performance. Kwazi suggests that all of us in our daily lives are always performing , he goes on to say whenever there is an expectation there is a performance that follows. In this episode we talk about how that is a burden , and how we can't escape it . It is with us . We also discuss how we can ease this burden. This is really an inspiring and really refreshing conversation.

In this conversation with Matla and Malwande , two teenage boys who just completed grade 12 , we discuss the structures of Black families. In this very eye opening conversation we discuss how the absence of the male figure in black communities have led the structures of families to be imbalanced with the women having to play roles they were not designed for. A very difficult conversation to listen to because it is a reality of a lot of us as black people.

Have you ever been on an awkward first date? Have you ever been uncertain on who should pay the bill?...Well during this conversation my dear friend and regular guest to the show , we discuss just that. The awkward first dates . We also share our date experiences as well , as our best dates and our worst dates. We share date ideas as well. This conversation is really  funny and entertaining.

In this very well balanced conversation, I chat with Ratiba Mohale on his journey with Jesus. We talk about the challenges as well as the realities that one faces when they choose to be committed to God . He shares how he came to know God and we also touch on the difference between Church and God. 

In this very interesting conversation we discuss how it is like being raised by a mother without the father being present . In this conversation I feature two Grade 12 Boys that share their story on how it has been like  for them personally ,growing up in a home where their father's were not always present . It is a very difficult conversation to listen to because some parts are pain covered by a young man's ego.
