Today, we're discussing the tragic murder of Austin Metcalf — a case that's not just heartbreaking but deeply revealing of a larger cultural crisis we need to address head-on. I'll be sharing my raw thoughts on what happened, and more importantly, having the uncomfortable (but necessary) conversation surrounding crime statistics in the black community.If we're ever going to see real change — fewer senseless killings, safer neighborhoods, and stronger families — then we have to stop tiptoeing around the truth. It's time to talk about why these patterns keep repeating and what cultural shifts must happen to break the toxic and deadly cycle.This isn't about hate — it's about accountability, truth, and the fight for life, stability, and genuine justice.—https://policecoffee.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACG7qmLTSF8TidU6uJpGkHMYzxsnd&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqcO_BhDaARIsACz62vPh4GA_6w_PdX8w4PW0sRhPD76KOyhYBmiEOdpiLXHP1G10c9kaPMEaAkK-EALw_wcB

Good Morning Nashville ☀️ THE LAST EPISODE OF THE YEAR FROM THE ONLY BLACK FATHER AND SON PODCAST IN THE STATE OF TENNESSEE!

Dr. Alvin Thomas is a a clinical psychologist whose work sits at the intersection of positive child and youth development and father involvement. In this episode, he talks with Institute for Diversity Science Chair Angela Byars-Winston about how other researchers can approach work about Black boys and men, and how focusing on the strengths and resilience of Black fathers can make an impact in our communities.  Dr. Thomas is also the host of the Black Fathers' Pulse Podcast. Learn more about the Fathers in Focus Conference referenced in the episode.   

Good Morning Nashville ☀️ Beyond excited to be bringing you guys a new episode this week, but even moreso just grateful to be alive as we round off the year of 2024. Been one crazy year, huhn? I'm sure you can say the same. But one thing that hasn't changed, is weekly drops from the ONLY black father and son podcast in the state of Tennessee. Let's get into today's episode ⭐️ Man, my pops and myself are so excited to have you guys hear this one today. Paying homage to the elders is something that we should do more of. It is often that the older we get, the more the world forgets about us, and that's the story for a lot of those in the elderly community today.

Good Morning Nashville ☀️ We are beyond excited to be entering the last month of the year with our listeners and supporters. If you have rocked with us all of 2024, we want to say thank you for your loyal listenership. Stay tuned, as we have more stories to be told of men overcoming their mental health in the future. December will introduce our final season/series titled “Black Fathers & Sons.” The goal of this season is to dedicate our platform to black fathers and sons as we bring these men on to discuss the positive dynamics within the relationship that are often overlooked by society. Got a great guest pair kicking off this season, let's get into today's episode!We are excited to bring to our platform the first guest duo for our “Black Fathers & Sons” season. Brandon Sawyers (son) is a graduate of Tennessee Tech University with a degree in Accounting. Although he couldn't make it, we want to give a shoutout to Brandon's older brother AJ, who also has played an influential roll in the overall development of Brandon as a young man. Representing the south side of Chicago, we bring forth Neru “Mr. Lawrence” Gobin (bonus dad) to the platform. A graduate of the University Of Illinois, and majored in Psychology, he began working at a hospital in Illinois. Time surpassed where Mr. Lawrence traveled down south to Tennessee State University where he ventured into starting his career, and while in that process, also meeting the woman that he now calls his wife. We dive into our conversation with these young men and see how mentally they have managed life individually, as well as together. One topic we brought up is how a man can often times be crippled mentally and emotionally when he doesn't have a dollar to his name. Any black man, or man in general, surely can say that it's no fun when there's nothing in your pockets. But especially for black men, we are labeled, stereotyped, and stigmatized daily. Then to not have any way to support your family or yourself? Surely could put anyone in helpless state with their mental health. A lot to take away from this episode, please take some time to listen to a father & son vent today. ✌

With the holiday season upon us, many are looking forward to spending time with family—reconnecting, sharing traditions, and reflecting on what really matters. Dr. Alvin Thomas shares insights into what it means to be a dad today—especially for Black fathers who are navigating cultural, economic, and social challenges. He explains why involved fathers are so vital for children, how traditional views of masculinity are being redefined, and what cultural and policy changes are needed to better support fathers in showing up for their families. For more on this topic: Listen to Thomas's award-winning podcast at The Black Fathers' Pulse.

Brother Faheem discusses the importance of Black Fathers.

After Brad Edwards and his family experienced a massive tragedy — twins lost to stillbirth — he decided to create an opportunity to train dads to better support mothers and be advocates for their birth partners. Edwards' loss was the catalyst to developing Dads to Doulas which will welcome its first cohort Oct. 2024, an initiative under the media platform Dear Fathers which focuses on Black fatherhood and mental health. Edwards shares what Dads to Doulas training will entail and why it's important for more men to learn the ins and outs of prenatal and postpartum stages.

So, let's talk about the story and experience Black fathers go through in raising autism-diagnosed kids… While autism discussions and advocacy are slowly coming to the forefront, unfortunately, not enough attention is given to the experiences of fathers – especially Black fathers – just yet. That's why we're back with another episode from this two-part series with Nick Richardson, an author, a loving husband, and a Black father to a son who has a dual diagnosis of autism and ADHD. Going through the experience of having to unlearn and relearn everything for his son's development, he believes in the power and importance of having support groups and/or communities. Regardless of whether you're a father who just got your kid's diagnosis or a spouse trying to understand what your husband is thinking, this two-part series will try to serve as a helping hand in this time of need. In this episode, Nick emphasizes the importance of creating a household full of love as he stresses how crucial it is that as parents, we also find people we trust to rely on so we can find balance and take a break. Because as beautiful and loving as it is that our love drives us to work for the betterment of our kids, we also need to recharge and take a breath. Why you need to check this episode: Understand the importance of parents having a trusted community to rely on for taking a break; Recognize the significance of creating and having a positive and loving household, regardless of whether your kids are atypical, neurotypical, or neurodivergent; and Learn how to find balance in life as a parent, especially if you have a child on the spectrum. “I believe all households should be full of love. Every household is different, but when you're definitely talking about having a child on the spectrum, creating the most positive atmosphere you can will help better your child in the development with this diagnosis.” – Nick Richardson Notable Quotes: “What I'm realizing is I know when I surround my son with the things he prefers, he has a better opportunity not only to learn academically but learn socially when there are positive environments around him.” – Nick Richardson “It all depends on what your priorities are. That's how you find out what you can handle and what gets done and what doesn't get done.” – Nick Richardson Mentions: (Part 1) The Unique Journey of Black Fathers Raising Autistic Kids with Nick Richardson AutisHim Breaking Barriers: An Introductory Look at African American Fathers and Autism Advocacy Connect with Nick Richardson: Facebook YouTube Sign up at www.listentodrberry.com  to join the mailing list.

So, let's talk about the story and experience Black fathers go through in raising autism-diagnosed kids… Nick Richardson is an author, a loving husband, and a Black father to a son who has a dual diagnosis of autism and ADHD. Going through the experience of having to unlearn and relearn everything for the development of his son, he believes in the power and importance of having support groups and/or communities. Just like what he said in this episode, more often than not, people – especially men – tend to forget that while they're going through the struggles, there are other people – or men – going through the same, too. Not to mention the lack of support for our brothers out there as well. But while it is unfortunate that the stories of fathers – especially Black men – aren't being talked about enough these days, we cannot let our voices be silenced, for like our autistic loved ones, we also need all the support that we can receive. And that's one of the reasons why he's here today – to send the message out there that this is happening and there are people whose story mirrors yours as well, and that we can be of help to one another as we journey this life and experience of having autistic kids. So, join us, and let's talk about our story, because who knows? As Nick says, it can edify, help, or move somebody, and even teach people about autism and fatherhood as a parent whose child has special needs. Why you need to check this episode: Discover the story of Black fathers who have a child on the spectrum (with special needs); Recognize the impact and importance of having a community or support group, especially within the African-American population; and Find out the internal letdowns usually experienced by fathers whose family member/s got diagnosed, and understand how and why fathers also need support “I believe African-Americans are communal people. I think we need each other in order for our children to grow and develop to be the most productive citizens possible.” – Nick Richardson Notable Quotes: “Everything that you knew about raising a child, nine times out of 10, came from you being that child being raised [by] your parents or grandparents or people who have poured into you. [But] none of that now matters. For the most part, you can't do and raise your child in the manner that you were raised. So, what you think you know, you now have to unlearn, and relearn what is necessary for your child's development.” – Nick Richardson “When you're going through all of this, the one thing you do not realize is that there are other men going through it, too.” – Nick Richardson “It's not just that brothers need brothers to understand that, but talking to other brothers helps you reflect on yourself. It kind of gives you a different perspective on what you can possibly do. In our support group, we don't tell anybody how to do anything. We give our stories, we give our experiences, we give the things that we've tried, and if it works for you, take it; if it doesn't work, see if another brother has a different experience that you can use to help you in your situation.” – Nick Richardson “We do a lot of sacrificing for our family because we care about them. We want our children to be the best versions of themselves as possible.” – Nick Richardson “The negative energy that I was giving, my son was just taking it and giving it back; it wasn't helping him. So, I could not discipline him the way I was disciplined. I had to find another way, which is where some of these trainings are coming in and talking to ABA therapists.” – Nick Richardson Mentions: My Autism In Black Conference Recap AutisHim DSM-5 Autism in Black Sign up at www.listentodrberry.com  to join the mailing list.
