The Stoop

The Subtle Roast


Listen Later

We don't hear alot of personal stories about what it is to be a big man in Black spaces. 
Today we go there with Ronald Young Jr., award-winning podcaster and creator of the hit show “Weight for It.” We stoop it out as he takes us back in time to when he was roasted at church, and unpacks what it feels like to be on the receiving end of ridicule by those who you feel closest to.
