What does it really feel like to be a Black man in today’s society? Beyond the prescribed narratives we see in media and grow up within our families, who are Black men? “The Space Between” is a podcast for and about black men and the intimate stories that make up their identities, lives, and relationships. Join host, Esther Boykin, LMFT, CEO of Group Therapy Associates and a celebrity therapist as she creates space to weave a more honest and complex understanding of what it means to be Black and male: one personal story at a time.
