Embark on a profound exploration of African-American literature and personal storytelling with Rasheed Copeland and our guest Dr. Tony Keith Jr., as they unravel the threads of identity, language, and the art of narrative. Dr. Keith, a poet whose words paint the truths of the black and LGBTQ+ communities, takes us behind the scenes of his memoir "How the Boogeyman Became a Poet." His tale, catalyzed by an inquisitive young fan, delves into the shift from academic to YA writing amid the pandemic's global upheaval. Through Tony's eyes, we witness the intimate bond between a writer and their creations, illuminating the relevance and power of African-American stories.Embarking on our podcast journey, we navigate the intricate pathways of self-identity and delve into the subtleties of code-switching, all while exploring Dr. Keith's experiences within various educational settings. The conversation seamlessly traverses the literary landscape, centering on Richard Wright's "Native Son" and delving into themes of black masculinity, intertwined with the solace Dr. Keith discovers in poetry. Drawing parallels, he likens the art of captivating a congregation in a black church or commanding the stage as an MC to the confident yet vulnerable expression that shapes our public persona. These reflections become interwoven with personal anecdotes, casting light on the delicate balance of revealing oneself through the written word.As the Boogeyman (Dr. Keith) sheds his cloak to reveal the poet beneath, we discuss the selective art of storytelling—choosing the details that resonate with the core theme of one's journey. The liberation found in writing to confront racism, homophobia, and poverty reveals the transformative power of language and self-expression. Closing the episode, we underscore the importance of African American literature in shaping personal narratives and influencing cultural tapestry.

We're joined by Jeremy Herte, Chicagoan host of the seminal Black masculinity podcast, Let's Talk Bruh. We're always talking about patriarchy, but what is it exactly? And is it really the way it's always been? Samantha shares the differences between matriarchy and patriarchy and highlights key differences beyond which gender is at the helm.We reflect on just a few societies that have maintained or developed matriarchal structures.

Harvey Laguerre is a 49 year old, stay-at-home dad of 4. The emergence of Covid-19 led to the creation of a relationship podcast, with his wife called Love is Black. The success of that podcast emboldened him to create his own. Men Are The  P.R.I.Z.E. Podcast is the result of years of learning what it means to be a man in the world today. The definition of masculinity has changed drastically and not for the better. Attributes that were once manly, are now toxic. What has not changed is the lack of safe spaces for men to express their emotions. Being a vulnerable man is not celebrated like it should be. This podcast is that safe space for men to open up and reveal their inner monologue. After counseling so many men on his podcast, Harvey is now a sought after Men's life & success coach. Using the same P.R.I.Z.E. MANtra he created for the podcast, Harvey now challenges men to listen to their inner monologue, put themselves at the top of their lists and become the P.R.I.Z.E. Key topics include:  ⭐️The Role Model and Support Coming from the Father Figure ⭐️ The Impact of Slavery on Fatherhood ⭐️ The Stereotypes of Black Masculinity and Sexuality ⭐️ Inequality & the Assumed Criminality of Black Men ⭐️ The Loneliness Black Men Experience in Everyday Life ⭐️ Being “Black Enough” ⭐️ Recognizing One's Own Worth ⭐ Men's Fear of Being Seen as Predator on the Dating Scene ⭐ The Changes That Came With the Dating Apps Era ⭐️ The Difference Between Lonely and Alone   Connect With David - The Authentic Man:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theauthenticman_/  Website: https://www.theauthenticman.net/  For Coaching: hello@theauthenticman.net  Newsletter: https://www.theauthenticman.net/home-subscribe  Men's Dating Accelerator, 5 Week Mini Training - Jan 22nd to Feb 19th: https://www.theauthenticman.net/store/mens-dating-accelerator   ✅ I have just opened up registration for the upcoming February 2024 cohort of my 12-week programme “Being An Authentic Masculine Man”, AKA B.A.A.M.M.

Bonus Episode - A great conversation between friends on the Financial Griot Podcast about Black Masculinity in a changing world.It's no secret that exposure to racism and discrimination is linked to various adverse mental health outcomes. The effects of systemic racism on Black Americans have been persistent and profound, as the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) points out, and the increase in media reports and images of police brutality and violence inflicted upon members of the Black community has added insult to injury.The impact can be chronic, says Angela Neal-Barnett, PhD, a professor of psychology and the director of the Program for Research on Anxiety Disorders Among African Americans at Kent State University in Ohio. “Traumatic events related to racism have been unrelenting for Blacks. In good times, racism is a stressor; in bad times, racism is trauma,” she says.So where do we go from here?

Some people wait to be chosen, hired, or validated. But others don't wait. They make their own path with determination. They use different tools, like guerrilla marketing, to get noticed. Dr. Fahamu Pecou is one of those people. Today on the podcast, you'll hear his inspiring journey from dreams of working as an animator to becoming an award-winning artist. Dr. Pecou studied painting, when he secured a job as a graphic designer, his artistic career changed course.  In our talk, Dr Pecou shares how his hip-hop influenced his work and how his work came to challenge societal views of Black identity and more specifically, Black masculinity.

This week I sit down with, Patrick Sutton, we delve into the layers of masculinity and challenge societal norms as the basis for our understanding of what it means to be a man. We specifically explore black masculinity and how it can often be overshadowed by external expectations. By focusing on the "hows" rather than the "whats", we aim to develop a deeper understanding and mutual respect for a neutral standard of what black masculinity truly looks like. Join us as we navigate this complex topic and strive towards a more inclusive understanding of masculinity.

Hey Yall!

I sit down with Highly Visible's inaugural intern, Reggie Hall, to talk about his intersectional identities of being a Black masculine man. Reggie shared vulnerably about his growth in understanding gender and why humans can learn a lot from animals when it comes to breaking down stereotypes. We close out our conversation with a story that forever shaped his view of the world and his Black skin. Hint: it involves a gas station, torn meniscus, and a tow truck.   Please support my family's GoFundMe   ✨ Head to Magicmind.co/dumas and use code DUMAS20 to get your pack of Magic Mind

In the second segment, they discuss the rising rates of suicide in the Black community and do a deep dive on what work needs to be done around Black masculinity and vulnerability for them to be able to thrive in a world structured for their destruction. In the third segment, Jenn reflects on how important it is to be expansive with the concept of self care for ourselves and Daren challenges all of the Black men out there to be courageous in taking care of themselves.

We aren't beholden to “traditional” gender or parenting roles, queerness is fluid and present in the ways we show up in our relationships and in the world, and we want to build community with other 30-something Black folx who are trying to figure this ish out.

  The 94th Academy Awards became quite tense on Sunday when Will Smith got on stage and slapped Chris Rock in response to an insensitive joke that Rock made about Jada Pinkett Smith. Shortly after the incident, Smith won the Oscar for Best Actor and gave a speech about family and protecting the people you love. The takes on the incident have ranged from insightful to groan inducing to flat out racist. The Takeaway takes a step back and speaks with Mark Anthony Neal, James B. Duke Distinguished professor of African and African American Studies at Duke University and host of the podcast, "Left of Black," about what this moment revealed about Black masculinity and race in mass media.
