  • In XYBM 120, I dive into the nuanced experiences of Black men, unpacking the challenges we have extending grace and forgiveness, the complexities of navigating casual relationships, and how these experiences shape who we are. I share personal stories and lessons learned, while reflecting on the vital role God plays — not just in making sense of life’s struggles but in helping us find our purpose, heal from the past, and feel more whole as human beings.

    This episode is a raw, thought-provoking conversation about faith, growth, and navigating the ups and downs of life as a Black man. Tune in now on all podcast streaming platforms, including YouTube!
