The Miseducation of Emotions: Giving Yourself Permission to Heal From Grief and Trauma
“Get over it” are words that make us cringe. The truth is there are experiences that are so traumatic we might not be able to get over them, but we can surely get through them. In Episode 4 we break through the barriers of “tough skin” and uncover the root of healing. Each of us share how we broke the cycle of holding our emotions hostage. We have been taught that strength looks stoic and void of emotion, but sometimes you have to breakdown to breakthrough. In this episode we discuss Christianity and therapy, creating a safe space for men to heal and supporting friends and family during grief and trauma. We are giving you permission to understand it’s okay not to be okay!

The Black Experience Through the Hollywood Lens: Is Hollywood the New Storyteller of Black History?
What’s your favorite “Black” movie? What movie or television series influenced you the most?
We recently lost Cicely Tyson, a National Treasure and cultural icon. As a kid we remember watching movies like “Roots” that ripped the bandage off the heinous American atrocity called slavery. With all the amazing black writers, directors, actors and producers, the beauty of the African American experience is playing out before our eyes on screen. People are seeing us beyond slaves, gangsters and criminals; we are now seen as more than a statistic. In honor of Black Heritage Month in Episode 3 we ask the question, “Is Hollywood the New Storyteller of Black History?”
