Today, her great great great great grandson, Terrence Franklin, is an award winning Wills and Trusts litigation attorneys.

In addition to covering the importance of estate planning, our conversation explores the influence of our ancestors and the process of living true to our passions, preferences and mission.  Terrence has three decades of experience handling trusts, estates and probate litigation, has received numerous awards and is a partner at Sacks Glazier Franklin & Lodise.

Every 365 Brothers interview includes stories of the variety of experiences Black men have with police. While there are definitely tales of the full range of experiences with law enforcement--positive, negative, funny and otherwise--the pervasiveness of the harms that come with structural bias, racial profiling and excessive force prevail. Perhaps we need to change the language. Excessive force is being roughed up. Why isn't killing a man without trial or sentencing a "lynching by state actors?" Language matters!

In the hospital recovering from surgery, Leroy Mitchell was depressed and without purpose. The NFL was the long game. There was no back-up plan that interested him. Fortunately the well-timed gift of a Bell Hooks' book from his mentor changed his life. It offered a new way to view his life, his maleness, his future. The conversation on colonial masculinity has opened up my eyes to how much it defines our view of our gender roles, regardless of our sexual identity. Powerful conversation. Leroy Mitchell is a Masculinity and Mental Health Trainer for the Black Emotional and Mental Health Collective (BEAM). Favorite movie: Frankie Ocean (Link to Thinking 'Bout You) Favorite words: "Integrity means being whole, unbroken, undivided. It describes a person who has unified the parts of his or her or their personality, so that there is no longer a split in the soul." Instagram @365brothers Are you our next guest? - Let's talk.

Raised in Temple Hills, Maryland, just outside of Washington, D.C, a young Eric Archer frequently visited the Smithsonian museums. He fondly remembers standing underneath an iconic (now defunct) whale exhibit at the Museum of Natural History. It left quite an impression. He's now a Marine Biologist based in San Diego where he researches whale family genetics and taxonomy. He also loved visiting the Nation Air and Space Museum. Yep, he's also a pilot. And a 3rd Degree Black Belt. And plays bass. A few of his other hobbies include sailing, kayaking, scuba diving, woodworking, camping and hiking. He also drops a few jokes here and there, so maybe comedian is his next opportunity to test the limits of mastery. Favorite song:  Woman in Chains by Tears for Fears. Favorite words are an elaborated version of this quote from Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching: "Water is fluid, soft and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.”   Instagram @365brothers Are you our next guest? - Let's talk.
