Podcasts about d watkins

This week, I got to sit down with fellow Baltimore native and dear friend, D Watkins, a prolific and beyond talented author and artist. While D and I both grew up in Baltimore, our paths to success weren't paved the same. We got deep into what Baltimore meant to us growing up, how it's shaped who we are, growing our brands here and the power of having a good group of people around you. D Watkins is professor at the University of Baltimore and the Editor at Large at Salon.com. He was a writer on the HBO series We Own This City and New York Times bestselling and award winning author of The Beast Side, The Cook Up, Where Tomorrows Aren't Promised, We Speak for Ourselves and Black Boy Smile. He most recently won a 2024 James Beard Media award! d-watkins.comFind him on social at  @dwatkinsworldhttps://www.salon.com/writer/d_watkinsBlack Boy SmileThis episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.com.

Welcome to this segment of Groundtable on Yellow Soul. In this episode my Co-host, Brit Albin, and I have Clint Watkins at the table. Clint is a husband, father, author, and full-time missionary. Clint walks us through the process of his own grief in the early stages of loss and beyond. We learn how the edges of his grief have smoothed out, and even though it's still there, through the healing, he's not wrecked by sorrow everyday. Clint got honest about being honest and invites us to not feel the need to edit what others may be experiencing in their own response to grief. Grieving, mourning, and lament, are all holy, sacred spaces we can give ourselves to and know that God will give of Himself with us in the process. God never leaves our story even when it feels like He is nowhere to be found. Clint shares he really wrote his book, Just Be Honest, because often people believe that faith is being positive, faith is about polite prayers, faith and suffering is just talking about the happy things and silver linings- they're not bad things, but they're not the only things. Actually being honest about what we're going through with God and others is a primary way of faith according to the Scriptures. God pulls us into hope and helps us endure, not by sugar-coating or ignoring things but being honest with Him, other people, and with yourself about the pain you're going through. We can bring our whole-selves to the table with God and He doesn't hold our pain against us! We learn how to navigate hard conversations and how to grieve our own losses while continuing to love and connect with others who are enduring pain too. Suffering and pain are inevitable in life and Clint shares why the Scriptures, specifically Job 42:7, are his True North regardless of where he is in his journey. Clint takes some time to encourage the hearts of men that expressing emotions and being a strong man, a warrior if you will, are not mutually exclusive. Tears aren't weakness. We learn what was most helpful for him was having people in his life that gave him the space and permission he needed to grieve in his own way. Each person has a unique grief journey and showing up for others might look like just sitting in solitude with them while they weep. Often times we can feel ill-equipped to serve the heart of another human enduring pain, but then we realize it's not about us. If we will show up, God will do what He does best- work through us as a vessel of love. We learn the rhythms he started with have changed over time, but many he still lives out today. The messy terrain of learning how he and his wife needed to grieve in their own way while also finding healthy ways to heal together. We all experience pain and grief which is why we believe every human needs to hear this conversation. Instead of stumbling through grief, we can learn the permission of lament becomes a gateway for our own healing. We believe this could be the best part of your day! Thank you for listening friend!

Joining Tom now is the author, screenwriter, and columnist D Watkins. He is a New York Times best-selling author of four books, and an editor at large and columnist at Salon, and the winner of several awards. He was also one of the writers on the HBO mini-series, We Own This City,based on a book by the Baltimore Banner's Justin Fenton and produced by David Simon, the creator of The Wire, among other critically acclaimed shows. D Watkins' latest book is a searing, vivid portrait of his life before and since he's achieved success as a writer. Growing up in East Baltimore, he was involved, for a while, in the kind of things that often get kids in that part of our city killed or thrown in jail. Watkins chronicles a childhood, adolescence and young adulthood in which uncertainty and fear were constant companions. He explores his often-troubled relationship with his father, and he takes a hard look at the culture of manliness and stoic toughness that leads to a particular brand of toxic masculinity. The book tracks his journey from scared kid to streetwise hustler to loving father, and it provides trenchant insight into the experience of growing up where, in Watkins' words, “violence was his own personal painkiller.” It's called Black Boy Smile: A Memoir in Moments.(2022, Legacy Lit /Grand central Publishing)D Watkinsjoins us on Zoom from Baltimore.

Tom's next guest is Derecka Purnell. She is an activist and human rights lawyer with a law degree from Harvard University. She's a scholar-in-residence with Columbia University's Initiative for Social Justice, and a columnist for The Guardian.She's also the author of a new book that challenges our long-held assumptions about policing and incarceration. In fact, she argues that police departments and prisons should be abolished. She writes, "Abolition is not the mere absence of police and prisons. It's a paradigm, aspiration and organizing practice to make those institutions obsolete,” and she links the abolitionist movement to decolonization, disability justice, Earth justice and socialism. The book is called Becoming Abolitionists:  Police, Protests, and the Pursuit of Freedom. Derecka Purnell will engage in an on-line conversation about the book on Thursday night (Nov. 11) with our good friend, D Watkins.

“Don't make it out, make it better.” That's a line from podcast guest D. Watkins, offered in the book trailer for his book of essays We Speak for Ourselves: A Word from Forgotten Black America, in which he gives voice to the voiceless and shines meaningful light on what it means to come of age in East Baltimore, in one of America's poorest black neighborhoods.  It's a line you might hear as well from D.'s NBA legend Carmelo Anthony, himself a product of an uncertain, unforgiving environment–the housing projects of Red Hook, Brooklyn, and Baltimore. In the future Hall-of-Famer's just-published memoir, Where Tomorrows Aren't Promised: A Memoir of Survival and Hope, an immediate New York Times best-seller, D. helps his celebrated co-author share his story of finding a way out of no way at all, sounding the call for social justice and offering a guidepost for readers looking to pull success from struggle.  More than any other athlete's memoir in recent memory, the book offers a perfect pairing of author and subject, as D. brings his own perspective to Anthony's hard-won experience.  An editor-at-large for Salon, D.'s work has been featured in The New York Times Magazine, The Guardian, and Rolling Stone, among other publications.
