The Marvyn Harrison Podcast: Culture, Identity & Fatherhood

A few months ago at the House of Commons, Dope Black Dads held an event about what does it mean to be a man. This week, Marvyn is bringing some of this conversation to you the podcast. He discusses his own personal journey into manhood, the stages he thinks you have to go through to be a man and the responsibilities a man must take on board to be an active father, son and partner. 

Dope Black Dads is place where we are changing the narrative and having progressive conversations about black fathers, as well as creating a safe digital space for the community.  

Your host is Marvyn Harrisonn.

This episode the Dope Black Mums are joined by award winning relationship and dating coach, Stacii Jae Johnson. Join us as we uncover why the US author believes we should date multiple men - with no intimacy (damn!) and how we can attract lasting love into our lives. Stacii opens up about her personal journey and quest to make love work in her life - and the lives of others - as well as giving practical advice on finding and creating a healthy (and hot) relationship. Now that’s dope.

'Can I touch your hair?' 'Oh sorry, wrong person.' 'Omg, you're so articulate.' We spend so much of our time at work, and unfortunately, it's not always a safe environment, and these are some of the most common microaggressions we, as black women have to face in the working world. 

In this week's episode, Leanne, Liv and Shan discuss bringing their whole selves to work, their experiences of microaggressions, and most importantly how they deal with difficult situations with colleagues.   If you would like to find out more about how you can deal with microaggressions in the workplace, this is a very informative video put together by BBC Ideas.
