  • XYBM Clips: A lot of Black men think they’re healed because they’re distracted
    If you want to listen to the full episode (XYBM 130) from this clip, search for the title: "Ep. 130: How Black Men are Impacted by Mother Wounds with Pastor Brownlee” — it was released on: May 5, 2025.

    In XYBM 130, I sit down with Pastor Brownlee, a Philadelphia native and entrepreneur who turned down an NFL career to answer his spiritual calling. We dive deep into healing emotional trauma, navigating grief, and the lasting impact of abandonment, particularly how mother wounds shape the lives of Black men.

    Pastor Brownlee shares raw, personal stories about his journey of resilience, loss, and the emotional freedom he’s fought for as a Black man. We also discuss the challenges of overcoming the scars left by past wounds and how healing can empower future generations.

    Tune in for an enlightening and powerful conversation on growth, healing, and how Black men can break generational cycles to embrace healthier futures.

    If you want to listen to the full episode (XYBM 129) from this clip, search for the title: "How to Build Stronger Black Families with Mel, Dimetri and David” — it was released on: April 21, 2025.

    In XYBM 129, I sit down with my friends Mel, David, and Dimetri for a powerful conversation about growing up in single-parent households and the profound impact it has on Black men’s emotional development. We explore the effects of ‘tough love,’ the struggles of healing from mother wounds, and how these experiences shape who we become as men. We also dive deep into the importance of breaking generational cycles and how each new generation of Black families can create a healthier, more empowered legacy.
           
    This episode is a candid, raw discussion about the emotional challenges we face as Black men, and how healing and self-awareness can pave the way for better futures. It’s a must listen if you’re trying to better yourself as a man.
