In this episode, Tasnim Sulaiman, LPC and Founder/CEO of Black Men Heal, discusses why she started a mental health nonprofit centered on healing black men and breaking the cycle in black men's mental health. We also discuss the importance of Silence the Shame's new campaign, “Healing the Spaces Between Us” and also how black men are taking control of their mental health by seeking therapy and support through community. During this episode, you hear key themes surrounding: 1. Understanding the impact of childhood experiences and grief is essential for personal growth and relationship-building. This awareness can lead to transformative healing and improve interactions across generations. 2. Collective healing is crucial for building community bonds and mutual support. Sharing experiences can alleviate feelings of isolation and strengthen resilience among individuals. 3. Men, particularly black men, are significantly influenced by their peers in discussing mental health. Encouraging open conversations can foster emotional expression and reduce stigma around seeking help. If you, or someone you know, is struggling with their mental health, call or text 9-8-8 to connect with someone who can help!

James Harris was supposed to be just another statistic in the foster care system. At the age of sixteen, he decided the best plan for his future was to emancipate himself and take control of his life so he could be the support system for his siblings who he was separated from when they entered the Virginia foster care system. Today, Tedx speaker, husband, and father James Harris goes Man to Man with David to discuss how he took the necessary steps to heal his child hood trauma by educating himself about mental health. He discusses how this played a huge part in how he created his program, Men to Heal, that helps other black men to be vulnerable so they can have autonomy over their feelings.

Forgiveness is something we all struggle with. However, studies have found that the act of forgiveness can reap huge rewards for your health, lowering the risk of heart attack; improving cholesterol levels and sleep; and reducing pain, blood pressure, and levels of anxiety, depression and stress. Today, David is going Man to Man with an influencer, father, and skateboarder who knows all about the power of forgiveness, Lheighton Cook. The two talk about what it took for him to forgive his father. The importance of it on one's mental health, and how it all ties into being the man he is today. ========The award-winning
As we all know, being different than what people think Black men should be gets you straight mocked, being vulnerable is not something we expect from Black men. Whether that comes from wearing "feminine" colors, not being fit, to enjoying certain hobbies, there are some things that Black men avoid because they don't want to be talked about. For body positive, model and NAACP Image Award nominated author Kelvin Davis, that was an afterthought. He's been rocking his style since childhood. As a girl dad and a dapper gentleman Kelvin spreads joy just by being him, but where does he pull his confidence from? David and Kelvin go Man to Man to discuss not only where he pulls his confidence from, but societal standards for men, body positivity, and health.========The award-winning

Black men, it's time to get real with each other. Wellness, self-love, finance, nutrition; these are just a few topics Black Love Inc General Manager David Wasicki will be bringing to the forefront in Man to Man: A Black Love Wellness Series. Each week the topics will change, but the insights & lessons gained from Black men of all walks of life will remain constant. Man to Man serves as a platform for men to get real-life insight directly from notable, successful men who lead with the honesty and vulnerability that Black Love is known for. Toxic masculinity. What is it? Is it really an issue or is it some buzzword? We brought in two brothers to have a conversation about masculinity in all forms, but especially centered around being Black men: Karega Bailey, artist, educator, and angel father, and King Jay Barnett, author, speaker, and mental health therapist. Perhaps more important than the question of what is toxic masculinity is “how do we acknowledge behavior that is toxic that seems to be consistently perpetrated by men”? Honestly, there are so many questions and points asked that this is only one piece of the framework necessary for healing. But we have to start somewhere, and this is a great start with two phenomenal men.Make sure you show Karega and Jay love on ig @karegabailey and @kingjaybarnettHave suggestions on who David should go Man to Man with next?

In Episode 4, Dr. Alfiee speaks with two “brothers” serving the Black Men Heal mission, expanding the non-profit's free online therapy out into the world with an ongoing tour in various cities across the U.S. The two guests not only work for Black Men Heal, but they each have used the organization's free therapy for themselves. Guest Doug McNeill Reed, Director of Partnerships, openly shares his healing journey after divorces, and tragically losing his father at age 12. Guest Reginald A. Howard, Senior Program Coordinator, who attempted suicide multiple times, bravely shares an early life experience related to an armed robbery. Reginald wrote an inspiring book called Suffering into Success: A Paradigm Shift Of Struggle To Achieve Happiness. (https://www.amazon.com/Suffering-Into-Success-Paradigm-Happiness-ebook/dp/B07L1XYHF). Both are passionate about using their lives to mentor others, and serving communities, both virtually Sundays through Black Men Heal's “King's Corner” Zoom sessions started two years ago, and now physically through the tour. The next is Aug. 20th in Houston and then Sept. 24th in Chicago (subject to change due to pandemic.) One of the key topics that consistently came up in the virtual meetings was that “Black men need hugs.” Reginald discusses how lack of affection as a young boy still challenges him now with his own children, to which Dr. Alfiee said how inspirational his transparency will be for others. Hence, the tour has been named “King's Corner–Black Men Need Hugs.” The community outreach effort is sending messages of hope, connection and vulnerability. Free food, massages, and mindfulness teachings are also part of the tour. Here's a clip describing the recent stop in Atlanta, Aug.6th, 2022.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wAdd1db2Fk The beginnings: Reginald: He went for free therapy from Black Men Heal in 2018, after multitude suicide attempts, and then after that experience, he was in horrible car accident. The first call he got in the hospital was from the therapist from Black Men Heal. He later became an advocate for mental health. “I went back to the organization that served me and that's how I became part of the (Black Men Heal) team,” Reginald shares. Douglas: He has worked in prisons for 25 years, had been in the military, and wanted to try free therapy, which he said helped him release a lot of baggage and that he now feels blessed by the experience. “Through my lived experiences, I just tell the story, and I try to be unapologetic, as I've heard you say Dr. Alfiee.” Dr. Alfiee: “I always want for us to have a way to identify us as collective…feel stronger when all of us who I identify as people of color can rise together.” –Marginalized identity: “I'm not centered in the mainstream unless I center myself.” –”Not only is it OK to ask for help, but to give them help that reflects them (the Black male).” Mission/Vision of Black Men Heal: Doug: “Sensitive to my needs, talking to therapist, and working those things out, released so much, and so free, and understanding vulnerability, just want to be open, no restrictions…she (the founder, Tasnim Sulaiman, a licensed professional counselor) created a space for he Black man to come in and feel comfortable sharing our thoughts, views and just being vulnerable.” Reginald: “ We got the connection of people showing up because they feel King's Corner is for them, and men come into the space and they see us, and feel this is for me, this is a home I can come to, and I can get support when needed.” More on King's Corner: King's Corner is a free weekly virtual mental health support group that has serviced over 2000 men. The George Floyd incident fueled the creation of the online event. Requests from all over the world for free therapy started coming in. Doug: “We called it a virtual free space, psycho-education. Let's come up with some subjects that affect Black men…overwhelming response…to learn about depression, anxiety and things that affect us like mass incarceration, pornography, divorce and infidelity.” –“One of the beauties about this is I'm a baby boomer, and Reg is a millennial. You get two sides.” Reginald:”There's healing happening on this Corner and that's what we say to people every week.” –Doug: “When a man starts to heal himself he needs a spiritual foundation.” –A DJ friend told him to “account for the details”: “I know we can account for details for the bad things we did, but let's start making more accountability for the good things we did.” Dr. Alfiee: “It's so healing for a Black man to say, yes, I made some mistakes, but I'm a work in progress too…so healing for women to hear that from them, too.” Reginald: Discusses an award given every year called the MVB–the most vulnerable brother, and who got it and why. Dr. Alfiee: “What you're doing is ministry…you're giving them living water, for wherever they are in the moment, this is the water you need.” Reginald: A new initiative on Gun Violence Group Therapy is discussed. “From listening to both of you, young people will see there is another way…and part of that is being vulnerable to a point…and understand you have a range of emotions, because you're supposed to experience a range of emotions…you can't be in one place all the time.” Reginald: “Every time you want to get to someplace great, there is going to be some turbulence. What you're going through is for a greater purpose. If you can embrace that, the outcome should be worth it.” Black Men Heal: https://blackmenheal.org Black Men Heal is a grassroots nonprofit organization, established in 2018, as a solution to a broken inequitable mental health care system that does not center the needs of marginalized Black and Brown Communities. It focuses on the mental health needs of Black men because of the lack of resources attending solely to this population. The mission is to provide mental health treatment, education, and resources to men of color–and to help increase the likelihood that Black men will self-initiate treatment for mental health struggles. Douglas McNeill Reed, Director of Partnerships Doug, (affectionately known as DReed), is a military veteran and dedicated social justice/mental health advocate. He has an expansive career that includes experience in law enforcement, organizational management, government contracts, and working toward achieving greater diversity and equity within our armed forces. In addition to being a crucial part of Black Men Heal's non-profit development. Doug was the 2nd Vice President, for the Partnership for Youth, a nonprofit organization focusing on instilling positive value in youth during a 3-day paramilitary camp and seminar. The organization conducted camps three times a year for 200 inner city youth from Camden, NJ. He served as an equal Opportunity Representative during his last active-duty station in Ft. Dix, NJ. As non-commissioned officer, Douglas was trained to report, instruct, and know the legal policy of discriminatory behavior in the armed forces. He taught diversity for more than 600 staff members and helped train employees, from executives to staff members, how to better interact with others of different backgrounds. Doug's positive and charismatic energy is a strong influence and motivational tool to those who engage with his passion and intellect. His dynamic speaking and presenting skills have been featured on panels alongside notable mental health advocates and experts such as Charlamagne Tha God, Dr. Alfiee, and former NFL players Jay Barnettt, and Ryan Mundy.

Dr. Alfiee: “What you're doing is ministry…you're giving them living water, for wherever they are in the moment, this is the water you need.” Reginald: A new initiative on Gun Violence Group Therapy is discussed. “From listening to both of you, young people will see there is another way…and part of that is being vulnerable to a point…and understand you have a range of emotions, because you're supposed to experience a range of emotions…you can't be in one place all the time.” Reginald: “Every time you want to get to someplace great, there is going to be some turbulence. What you're going through is for a greater purpose. If you can embrace that, the outcome should be worth it.” Black Men Heal: https://blackmenheal.org Black Men Heal is a grassroots nonprofit organization, established in 2018, as a solution to a broken inequitable mental health care system that does not center the needs of marginalized Black and Brown Communities. It focuses on the mental health needs of Black men because of the lack of resources attending solely to this population. The mission is to provide mental health treatment, education, and resources to men of color–and to help increase the likelihood that Black men will self-initiate treatment for mental health struggles. Douglas McNeill Reed, Director of Partnerships Doug, (affectionately known as DReed), is a military veteran and dedicated social justice/mental health advocate. He has an expansive career that includes experience in law enforcement, organizational management, government contracts, and working toward achieving greater diversity and equity within our armed forces.

The organization conducted camps three times a year for 200 inner city youth from Camden, NJ. He served as an equal Opportunity Representative during his last active-duty station in Ft. Dix, NJ. As non-commissioned officer, Douglas was trained to report, instruct, and know the legal policy of discriminatory behavior in the armed forces. He taught diversity for more than 600 staff members and helped train employees, from executives to staff members, how to better interact with others of different backgrounds. Doug's positive and charismatic energy is a strong influence and motivational tool to those who engage with his passion and intellect.

0:09 - This is the game where a woman from Alabama wins 2.1 million dollars from Walmart. Where the Broad Street Bully, Beenie Siegel is open for business, the nickname consultation business. And where 50 Cent just might of found his next protege in the Boogie Down Bronx.8:25 - Intro now let's take off10:02 - We start with something I wrote and a public announcement to all the listeners regarding the identity of The Late Night Flight. What is TLNF? Why TLNF? Should you listen to TLNF? The Pilot answer those questions. The Pilot also uses a soundbite from NBC/MLB Network Broadcaster Bob Costas to explain the blindspots of agism and racism when it comes to our new breed of Young Black Leadership. And by Young Black Leader, I'm talking LeBron James. And Ri Ri.... But LeBron talk on this segment lol.23:24 - And we go. A story about a mild lust for a barber who happens to be a woman lol. The Pilot gives us a 8 min painting on what his single life looks like. Also, the new streaming app Thriller is giving out one year $2,000 contracts with an extra $2,000 in equity to Black Content Creators. Sounds good but the only two people with contracts so far is a boxer who is signed to Team Mayweather with 7.1 million Tik Tok followers, and a former credited songwriter who played for Virginia college Old Dominion when they were ranked top ten n the country. Is this false advertising and hope young content creators? Or just great promotion by Thriller dangling the carrot of "ownership" to Black America because you know we want to own everything lol.39:26 - SALUTE to Councilman Frank Educational Gilmore becoming the happy ending version to POWER lol. If you haven't heard of this man, go to his instagram, or listen to the "For The Stress Podcast" for all your local Jersey City news, thoughts, and music conversations (They're on apple podcasts and spotify). This is a good segment for young politicians who want to know how to become "likable" in today's political climate.48:51 - The Queen of Gossip Radio, Wendy Williams, birthed a nation of female podcasters who does the their take on Wendy Williams gossip style poorly. Meanwhile, Dr. Dre and Xzibit are going through their divorce healing process and when you're a millionaire, you can heal in style. You can sell t-shirts and make money lol. Don't believe me, Google "Dr. Dre X and N.W.D. shirts." But "healing" has also birthed the "Black Man Heal" podcast which is a poorly presented podcast by Black Male Hosts. They never stay on topic, and the one who always want to play therapist, is usually the one that needs therapy. If this is a Black Man's angle to reach women, you're better off just lying. It worked for us before. lolAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

"All my life I've been trying to figure out….when there's no blueprint” - - Dr.Nino Rodriguez, Social Justice Educator, Activist, Community Organizer, Transformational Coach The Conversation: How Do I Heal Myself When I Don't Know Where to Start? When we get a scar, there's usually something we can get to fix it: Band-Aid, cast, or a call to the doctor. But how do you heal your life? In this raw and revealing podcast, Ken talks with Dr. Nino Rodriguez, a social justice educator, researcher, and community activist talk about this very important and life-altering question. They'll discuss how they learned to create a blueprint for healing when there was no blueprint, the struggles they had along the way, and some easy steps you can take to begin answering the question “How do I heal my own life?”, no matter where you are in your life's journey right now. Insights Figuring out your life in a complex world Finding your life's work and your life mission Navigating masculinity in a socially unequal world The danger of not following your own blueprint for success Milestones & benchmarks...and how to figure out a life without a map Being vulnerable & emotionally intelligent The important role of self-love in communication Dealing with anger Being OK while you're still learning to be OK….Why you don't need to be perfect to heal Finding your life's calling “Shit's gonna happen: Using the right coping mechanism when life throws something unexpected Being angry with ourselves Black Men Heal and The Confess Project Takeaways of the Conversation Healing is not easy. It can be complicated, so let go of the “quick fix” idea You don't need permission or validation to be who you are. Chasing someone else's idea of who you should be is an “invisible prison”. How you love is how you communicate Understand how people around you (including you) express love and you will be able to communicate better The Homework: Dr. Nino talked about a lot of things in this conversation, from race to masculinity to social justice and communication. One of his biggest themes, however, was healing. He emphasized the point that healing is about understanding what you are healing from, what you are healing for, and what you are healing toward. So, for this homework, take a moment to think about your own healing All you need is 15 minutes, some inspirational music 1. (5 minutes) Healing From Be sure to be in a safe space (mentally, emotionally, and physically) first. Then pull out a piece of paper or type on a blank page in a word processor. Write down (no filter) the answer to what question “What went wrong in my life?” Limit yourself to 5 minutes 2.. (5 minutes) Healing For After you did the above, walk away from what you wrote (at least 30 minutes or more, if you need it)….then come back This time, turn on inspirational musi while you write a list of all of the people in your life who care about you...and that you care for. Limit yourself to 5 minutes and include yourself at the top of the list. 3. (5 minutes) Healing Toward Continue to listen to inspirational music. This time, start imagining that your life was better. Write down what that life looks like (no filter). Once you're done with the above exercises, put two things on the calendar: (1) Gratitude Find one way to show gratitude to a person you care about (2) Self-Care Plan at least an hour where you can step our of your daily grind and just relax. It could be on a staycation, just playing music with no agenda, reading, a book, or actual vacation (3) Self-Build Plan at least another hour in your calendar where you dream...then take action on a part of that dream.. It could be as simple as researching a course you always wanted to take or speaking to someone in a new career field. It could also be starting an exercise routine that you never got around to. Once you're done this week, see if these exercises helped change your life in any way About Our Guest: Dr. Nino Rodriguez is a social justice educator, Chief Impact Officer of Excellence and Advancement Foundation, program director of the MUST (Mentoring Urban Students & Teens), community activist, speaker, and coach.

This week on BeREAL, Diana and Ednesha are joined by Zakia Williams to discuss her practice, Black Men Heal, and how it furthers a conversation about Black men and mental health. Zakia Williams began her career in the mental health field over 17 years ago after completing an undergraduate degree at Temple University. In 2001, she successfully earned a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Business. She is currently in the second year of her master's program in counseling. Zakia Williams is the President and CEO of Interface Psych Services. Her mission is to educate and remove the stigma surrounding mental health in the Black community. She is dedicated and works non stop helping people find their path to healing with Black Men Heal where she is the Co-founder and Client Liaison. Zakia begins the episode by discussion how Black Men Heal came to be. She points out the ways in which she saw Black men react to the idea of vulnerability. They often shut down and this would negatively impact their close relationships. Black Men Heal creates a space where patients can defy these stigmas and open up to other men about their emotions. Zakia then explains how the program is structured and the transition to seeing a licensed clinical social worker after the cohorts are finished. Zakia then discusses the ways in which they target intersectional demographics, most recently with their first LGBTQ+ cohort, as a means to create strong allies for a number of different minority communities. She then ties to conversation back to earlier, back to the idea that a lack of vulnerability creates rifts in relationships. She acknowledges that Black Men Heal does not solely address Black men and mental health, it heals the people close to the patients as well. Lastly, Zakia recounts how Black Men Heal grew from a small organization to one with over 200 people on its waiting list. With such a large clientele, and a mission to make therapy available to Black men at no cost to the patient, Zakia gives information on how listeners can donate to the organization.

Our personal hoop dreams for the NBA ended years ago, but as avid fans of the basketball, football, baseball and other sports we clearly had a vested interested in this week's episode. When talking about masculinity in sports, like other areas of life, there is a certain type of acceptable masculinity. The fire, passion, competitive spirit and in some cases aggressiveness that sports fosters can help create a healthy masculinity, but what happens when that shit becomes toxic? And if we're being real, don't we all at times enjoy the toxic masculinity that comes out in sports? The shit-talking, the hard hits in football, the win at all costs mentality. We also talk about the safe space of the locker room and how it can be a breeding ground for toxicity but also a safe space for freedom of expression. Like the the twerking video of NFL Player Bernard Pollard we posted this week. Sports provides a healthy outlet for many of us as youth and for a very select few Black men an opportunity to change the course of their lives forever. But how much are we willing to sacrifice a healthy masculinity for the betterment of the game or a team?

We're back for round 2 and this time we brought the professionals with us. This week we were joined by Tasnim Sulaiman from Black Men Heal. She's a therapist who comes across sex and sexuality related issues with her clients so we had the great opportunity to ask her all the questions that we couldn't get to the bottom of in last week's episode like: Can sex be considered successful without an orgasm? Who's really responsible for your orgasm? We also get to the bottom of PE because what does it really mean to finish "too early"? Taz also talked about the importance of consent and added some clarity around the differences in sex drives between men and women. Taz was joined by her Black Men Heal co-founder and fellow therapist Kevana Nixon who also hopped on the mic to drop some gems of her own.
