This week, Marvyn is joined by Donald, Umar and Marvin to discuss what wealth means to them and whether you can have it all.
They also discuss Kanye West's bid for Presidency and what they think is really going on behind the scenes with the rapper.

July 18, 2020 Can Black People be Mediocre? and Will and Jada's Entanglement
As Black people we are taught that we have to work twice as hard to get half the results of our white counterparts. This week on the podcast Marvyn and the crew discuss whether we can ever normalize Black people being mediocre, how we adopted this mentality and whether we will pass this work ethic onto our kids.
They also dive into Will and Jada's revealing Red Table Talk. Did they need to address the situation? Who do we sypathise with? And what the hell is an entanglement??

June 23, 2020 BBC The One Show: Talking To Your Kids About Race with Ashley John Baptiste
When is the right time to talk to your children about race? What's the right age? How do you have these conversations in a way your kids understand? In light of the death of George Floyd it is clear that we are now bringing our children into a different world. Everyone is talking about race, everyone is talking about Black Lives Matter and as black parents it's always been our responsibility to talk to our kids to understand how they will be perceived in a world that sees their skin colour first and foremostly.
Until the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement in recent months, a lot of white people had only just realized that they too need to discuss race with their kids so that they can grow up to be anti-racist and advocate for black people. In this episode, Marvyn, Donald and Marvin are joined by Ashley John Baptiste from the One Show to discuss how they navigate these conversations, how they would like white parents to have these conversations and how they teach their children to love the skin that they're in.
Tune into BBC One at 7pm to see the full Dope Black Dads segment on The One Show.
