When youth are sentenced they go into the care of The Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS) is the juvenile justice agency for the District of Columbia. Last week Councilman Trayon White held a press conference after seeing the living conditions of the youth at the facility at 1000 Mount Olivet Road in NE. One of the phases he used was “inhumane”.

We talk about accountability all the time on this platform and with relationships there should be a “code of conduct” between friends and their friends partner! It seems the code that we once lived by is out the window and now it’s a “do you” society. It’s crazy how folks expect the fairy tale relationship but, you went against the grain with your friends by going behind their back and dating his/her ex. How’s that work? Coming up my co-host shares her experience with a friend doing this to her and how she found out! Welcome Back to RealTalk w/ The6thman Podcast! #therealtalkpodcast

There are many risk factors that make the transition to parenthood difficult, even in the best of circumstances. One such risk factor is the experience of parental childhood trauma, which has the potential to affect the parent/child relationship, both in terms of attachment style parental reflective functioning. This conversation aims to expand the discussion as it’s concerned with the effects of trauma has once that child transitions into adulthood. We see parenthood by looking at the role that the experience of trauma and adult attachment has in relation to parental reflective functioning. #therealtalkpodcast

We live in crazy times now and it seems like it’s not worth being a good person anymore. Men are suppose to protect women but, shouldn’t get killed in the process. At the end of the day being good is still a good thing but, let’s make sure we being safe in certain situations. Reality tv has more of an impact on relationships then folks like to lead on especially when it comes to relationships. I can appreciate folks opinion but, shit just don’t seem real no more. Every relationship is based on the individuals and it shouldn’t be one side based on financial responsibilities. Welp I’m try something new and I hope y’all enjoy the new edition to the show! Buckle up and get ready for some grown folk talk! #therealtalkpodcast
