Being a progressive, open minded, down to earth, humble man is a rare thing. I'm all of those things..........well, I'm not perfect, but I do the best that I can to be an example of a "Modern Man". Join me as we examine the emotional, physical, and psychological aspects that we, millennial men, are going through, and as we look at the things we're doing to make an impact. A Modern Man is a safe, and welcoming, space to showcase the beauty and diversity of our species.
When the NABJ gave Stephen A. Smith a "Thumbs Down" award for a pattern of disparaging Black women, it reopened a question I keep coming back to: how do I feel when Black people criticize Black people through mainstream media?
In this episode I sit with the discomfort of intracommunity critique. The difference between White criticism of Black figures and Black criticism of Black figures, the moments that stuck with me (Jason Whitlock on Serena Williams still lives in my head), and why the same words land differently depending on who's saying them and who's watching.

Stop Fighting Your Fear
We're taught to conquer fear, overcome it, push through it. But what if that's backward? In this episode, we explore what happens when you stop fighting and start listening—when a move, a new relationship, or professional uncertainty becomes information rather than an obstacle. We examine the universal symbols of fear, trace where it shows up in our lives, and ask: what is your fear actually trying to tell you?

The Anger I Was Taught to Hide
Anger is one of the hardest emotions for me to sit with as a Black man. It comes loaded with a stereotype I've spent my life trying not to feed.
In this episode I get honest about how anger actually shows up for me, where I learned to bury it, and the difference between reacting to it and understanding it. I talk through how I try to model and process anger not perform calm, but actually feel the thing and ask what it's pointing to.
If you've ever been told your anger makes you dangerous, or swallowed it until it turned into something else, this is for you.
