Two Black men. Two different sexualities. One shared truth: father absence leaves scars.

In this powerful episode of Wins + Lessons, host Leron sits down with guest Jerome Davis — an openly gay Black man — to have a raw, honest conversation about growing up without a father. Despite their differences in sexuality, they discover the emotional weight they've both carried is rooted in the same place.

They unpack:

How fatherlessness shaped their self-worth

Why so many men project pain through oversexualization

What healing looks like for both straight and gay Black men

The power of sharing your truth out loud

This isn't about division — it's about understanding, healing, and redefining manhood from the inside out.
