Podcasts about Black Boys

On this episode of "WOKE" I sit down with Trigger Mike and New Guest, One half of the podcast Black Dad's Club Pastor Mike Will to discuss why, how and if Black Boys are in Danger

In this powerful episode of the I Am Dad Podcast, host Kenneth Braswell welcomes Chris James, a nationally recognized spoken word artist, TEDx speaker, mental health educator, and founder of Creative Connections. As a father of seven and the visionary behind the “Black Boys Better” program, Chris shares how art, advocacy, and emotional intelligence are reshaping the conversation around fatherhood and mental wellness. The two dive deep into fatherhood, the danger of emotional suppression, and how men often carry unacknowledged pain in silence. Chris opens up about becoming a father at 16, dropping his oldest son off at college while raising an 18-month-old, and how his own healing journey allows him to serve boys and men with greater empathy and truth. He and Braswell challenge the myth that men don't express emotions, arguing instead that men communicate constantly—we just need to listen differently. This episode is rich with lived experience, critical insight, and practical frameworks for healing, mentoring, and creating culturally relevant support systems for Black boys and their fathers.

Author Derrick Barnes joins us to talk about his powerful new book, The Incredibly Human Henson Blayze. In this heartfelt conversation, Barnes explores the importance of affirming Black boyhood and the inspiration behind Henson's story.

This week on Black & Published, Nikesha speaks with Kiese Laymon and Alexis Franklin about their new picture book, City Summer, Country Summer. It's a story about an up north city kid who goes down south to visit his country cousins for the summer. In our conversation, Kiese & Alexis discuss how they were able to explore in their own ways what intimacy looks like between young Black boys. Plus, how this story puts the harmful narrative of pause no homo” on notice. And what they've been able to give school children across the country by honoring the child in all of us.

Smart Guy? Carlton Banks, Cookie, Steve Urkel, and many other smart Black Boys on TV had to sacrifice social clout and were the butt of the jokes in pop culture. I participated in a Speaker Symposium to share ideas.Videographer: ‪@iamtheprizemedia‬ / Zachary King
