Welcome to the Black Father's Pulse podcast hosted by Dr. Alvin Thomas, a clinical psychologist and professor. In this emotionally compelling episode, we embark on a two-part special series titled 'Mothers in Arms"

In part one "Divided Justice - United by Tragedy: Two Mothers' Stories on Race and Policing" we hear from two courageous mothers, Narene Crosby and Sheila Albers, whose sons were killed by police. They share their heartbreaking stories of loss. They relive the details and experience of unimaginable loss that has connected them. They share commonalities in their interactions with the justice system and the police, and key differences in their outcomes. This sets the stage for the second and final part of this conversation to be released near Mothers' Day. This episode explores themes of policing, mental health, racial justice, and the power of shared purpose amidst unimaginable loss. Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions about violence, killing, and suicide.⁣
