For many men, once the role of husband and father are assigned, it is a responsibility that is received with great seriousness. Unfortunately when divorce occurs after years of marriage, not only are men processing the end of the relationship, but they're also struggling to recalibrate the duties of in-home father, and shedding the identity of husband they've spent those years building. In episode 51, DJ iRule shares his story of being married for the majority of his adult life, how divorce strained his relationship with his children, and ultimately how the unorthodox road he's travelled has lead to understanding.

Risikat "Kat" Okedeyi is a cultural architect who's spent decades weaving her vision, purpose, and love of blackness in to artistic experiences across the globe.

Some say the concept of family, and marriage is being redefined. What is that a consequence of? Are these changes symptoms of an overcorrection made by individuals in failed relationships where unmet needs and unrealistic expectations intersect?
