Episode 8: Understanding the Black Man

On this episode I interview 3 successful Black men, Leonard Chester, Derrick Pratt, and Donald Ralls to asked their perspective on Black Love and how to love and support Black men better. Black men always have a special place in my heart and I've always felt like they are extremely misunderstood. My father and I would often have heart to hearts during long car rides on his past romantic relationships (before my mom), his mistakes and everyday worries and sacrifices that he makes to protect our family, so this conversation was important to share with my listeners to extend the male perspective beyond the car rides between my dad and I. Let's take some time to listen, comprehend and nurture our black men after this episode.
