S10 E195: A Letter To A Black Brother: Marquis Hunt Calls Young Black Men To A Greater Narrative


Listen Later

Dr. Gee starts his conversation with faith leader and professional musician Marquis Hunt by talking about addressing young Black men to understand that they do have voice that can matter. Marquis wrote a letter to a "Black Brother" as "a call to every Black man who's ever felt overlooked, undervalued, or trapped in a system that wasn't built for us." They discuss why there is a need to call young Black men to create a greater narrative than the one that society is telling them. 

Before the recent election, Dr. Gee and Marquis look deeply into the environment around the Black vote in the 2024 election, especially for Black men. Also, don't miss an extra fun Black Ice Breakers session.

Marquis Hunt is a Spiritual Director, Interfaith Leader, professional musician and author of The New Human: When People We Love, Love The People We Love. From Little Rock, Arkansas, Hunt is the founder and developer of The FloW, a community-based practice that integrates music, philosophy, and strategic discourse. Marquis has worked on a national and international level helping thousands of individuals reach higher levels of human potential.
