Podcasts about dear black boy

Martellus Bennett is reimagining imagination.  He's perhaps best known in cultural press for his championship NFL career which included the famous Super Bowl LI comeback where his Patriots were down 28-3 at halftime and rallied for a 34-28 win in OT. But Martellus, who goes by Marty now as well as the new moniker Mr.TOMONOSHi, served as starting Tight End and recorded five catches for 62 yards as well as drawing the key Pass Interference penalty that set up the game-winning touchdown. He said afterwards he didn't know they won. “I'm telling you, bro. I was in flow. Like, I don't know what the score is, right? I had no idea.” There may be a few reasons for that flow experience, though. Marty has always been a truly broad and dimensional thinker who questions and examines everything. Why? “I had parents who let us talk at the kitchen table.” As a result, he's still only in his 30s and has just massively varied interests and pursuits. “I'm always reading, searching, asking why, what if, or how?”  Just as likely to be found in Japan searching for illumination, drawing cartoons to inspire young black kids (the award-winning book Dear Black Boy, as an example), tracing his family's pre-slavery origins in Senegal, writing and releasing hip-hop albums, and always — always! — standing up and speaking out for what he believes in. No wonder he was one of the first NFL players kneeling in 2016 — joining Colin Kaepernick and older brother Michael — in a tough position that made him a target. Indeed, he left the Green Bay Packers after that year... “The way you feel the coldness when you walk into a freezer, you could feel the racism there.” Today Marty carries and emanates the deep purpose of re-igniting imaginations worldwide. He wants to “activate imagination through touch, sound, smell, taste, and the body” and help support every human's “opportunity to play, explore the universe, experience joy, wonder, and have active social connections regardless of age.” He lives in Houston with his wife and daughter AJ and operates out of an an incredible in-the-neighborhood studio-space he's named the TOMONOSHi! I+d LAB — a kind of magical Willy Wonka factory-esque playground full of hand-built bookshelves, woodshop tables, computers for recording music, a stump garden, and, yes, a Bird Hotel. When kids walk by they smile and scream out “Hi Mr. TOMONOSHi!” and he smiles and screams back. He's even adopted their moniker as a way to communicate his expanding identity and purpose. He soaks into the identity and challenges societal norms around labels in almost every way. Mr. TOMONOSHi interacts, serves, and connects with the community, writes and illustrates children's books — like his popular Hey AJ series — and even has a deal with Disney for an upcoming series based on his books. “My life is my biggest art project,” he says. And it's a beautiful one.  So let's fly down to Houston, Texas and enjoy a long sunny morning at a hand-made table — made by Mr. TOMONOSHi, of course — to experience the wit, wonder, and wisdom of a true renaissance man. I hope you find this conversation as inspiring, challenging, and soul-fueling as I did. --- You can find show notes and more information by clicking here: https://www.3books.co/chapters/124 Leave us a voicemail.

This eipisode is emotion-filled and raw, yet still gifts coaching, cocktails, & conversations. Yes, I'm angry and disheartened, yet conditioned to see always see a glimmer of hope. May you remind yourself that IT IS OK NOT TO BE OK! It is ok to sit in the power of your pause, UNAPOLOGETICALLY! With the violence that's been thrust upon our black boys and men, I am giving you all of me. As a Black mother raising a Black Young Boy, the murdres, senseless acts of violence, and hate-filled streets hit hard and spun me in a momentary interruption that I wasn't ready for. Question for you - When you say the names of the Black and brown boys, men, women, and girls who have been murdered by police or hate-filled citizens (that we know of), what do you think about? When you say your name, what do you think about? When you hear my 8-year old son (Minute 22:44), what do you think about? SAY MY NAME! AND MEAN IT! DO YOU KNOW THE POWER IN YOUR NAME?

This week, my guest is Martellus Bennett. Bennett is known for his time in the NFL and for winning a Super Bowl with the Patriots. But in March 2018, he announced his retirement to make a name for himself as a creative with his Imagination Agency. He just released a book called Dear Black Boy and is here to talk about that, and living his passion.

Former New England Patriots tight end, and 10-year NFL veteran, Martellus Bennett joined Michaela Vernava at NESN's headquarters to talk about his new book, "Dear Black Boy." In his talk to NESN employees, Bennett details how he uses his company The Imagination Agency to promote diversity and inclusion.

Former Chicago Bear and NFL Pro Bowl tight end Martellus Bennett made time to talk to Weareregalradio.com Editorial Director Kyle Means Monday during his whirlwind media tour of the city to promote his new children's book "Dear Black Boy." In this audio recorded from 57th Street Books in Hyde Park, Bennett talks about returning to the Chi and the culture of creativity and blackness here, a type of vibe that he has reveled in while promoting his book, which he did here with local blogger and influencer Jenny "Mama Fresh" LeFlore. In spite of the directness of the title, the book and its author have a lot to say to all kids about resisting boundaries and restrictions society places on us. But definitely this book, written in the wake of the violent summer of 2016 where Philando Castile and Alton Sterling were each murdered by police, is designed to help black boys value their creativity and make them feel more welcome to actively change the often hostile world that surrounds them.
