The inspiring Eric. E. Brown Jr. returns for an absolutely raw and deeply authentic exchange on what he is feeling in his soul right now. This is a powerful and moving program.  Eric was extremely brave to let his inner self come forward and talk about the struggles many of us have been dealing with and continue to process.

ERIC E. BROWN JR. is a politico, community organizer, cultural ethicist, Hip Hop enthusiast, and former Baptist minister. A Nashville native, Eric is a graduate of American Baptist College, Vanderbilt University and Vanderbilt Divinity School. Eric writes about complex subjects in a plain speech fashion to detail rare honesty in a politically correct world. When not working, Eric loves to read, write, and enjoy time with his spouse, Brittney, and their three dogs (Senator, Aaliyah, & Phife, “The Dog”).

Weekend Reflections is a graphic memoir to push a black man into being a vulnerable and courageous human being through words and pictures. The book travels through Blackness, relationships, religion, culture and Hip Hop to fully-paint life against the colorless assumptions made by a first glance. Weekend Reflections is stream of consciousness with out-loud visuals that are full of ambiguous thoughts, contrarian views, and insightful experiences of a Southern, Black, Hip Hop Man that hopes to grow and find understanding by saying the things that are usually left unsaid.
