It's finally here! This is the first installment of "We Still Cool?" Black men discuss how ego has either helped or hurt them.
I am genuinely excited to produce more content and push these kind of dialogues a bit more with Black people. This was the first of many. Shout out to @jameerpond and what he was doing with @cocoabutter. I saw him and wanted to do that in my community.
Thank you @stzybby, @sterlyg, @iamkundali, @balmour, @3rd_lap_podcast, and @exzachly__ for participating on the project.
Shout out to @mandy_noelle__, @tay.garn3tt, and @ayookanon for hopping in and assisting throughout the production. You’re all hella appreciated.
Look out for the last two installments! We’re covering masculinity and vulnerability in the next two.

In this conversation, we discussed the Black Family dynamic. I talked about the importance of teaching kids emotional intelligence and about their racial identity earlier on in life! Thank you @gethomesafehugem for having me on this panel.

Happy Birthday to the brilliant thinker and writer James Baldwin. He is the through line for all of the work that I do. His words have shaped me and guided my work, since I was introduced to “Go Tell It On The Mountain” in high school and I haven’t been the same since. “This American Negro” came from one of his speeches. My documentary “To the Mountain” is also inspired by him.
