In this episode, I talk with the Dr. Lazaro Camacho Jr.. We talk about how the Scholar Homies "Collective" begin during the beginning of the pandemic and how we cultivated an online community. We talk about an article he co-authored "No Role Models" and the parallels that they made with their study findings to the J. Cole's album, 2014 Forest Hills Drive. We also talk about toxic masculinity and share an experience we had together in having to unlearn social norms.

Article to "No Role Models: The Experience of Black and Latino Men in a Mentorship Program at a Two-Year Hispanic Serving Institution."
