    We continue the conversation of fatherhood and ask the question where were our fathers when we were younger and what impact did that have on us..... This is in light of Nick Cannon's now infamous "Hollywood Triplets" (patent pending). 3 fresh babies in the month of June and 4th as far back as six months ago in December. If you've lost count, it's not only you, we have as well! But that's 7 in total (and counting) with four women. Sir Cannon can definitely afford them as he is the definition of a media mogul, but it takes more than money though, right? Time, Presence, Legacy, what and how do we as men responsibly execute being a father? We're not sure we even know...... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/not-over-text/message

    As we continue our conversation from Part 1, we examine the terminal results of systemic racism for these black men and women that we continue to lose. Why is it so difficult to understand the community’s requests for reform? We focus on the lack of police accountability, laws purposefully created for enslavement, and how our democracy has failed. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/not-over-text/message
