Miles Chamley-Watson

Do you need anything?

How are you?

Talk for about, I want to say it was like 45 seconds, I think I remember seeing on the phone.

And then it was just like, whoa.

But it was like a really nice closing a chapter and then opening a chapter.

I remember I posted about it because I was very scared.

And especially like black men, it's very common.

You know, my dad, oh, you know, and I talked about it.

And I got so many lovely messages like, I'm going to call my dad.

And I was like, oh wow, I didn't realize it was such a big thing to talk about.

I've gone through a lot in my life, but they're all blessings in a way.

But I think it's so important to address issues, no matter how hard they are for you at the time.

Yeah, and now, you know, he's never seen me fence before.

which is crazy and now I'm like maybe that's maybe that's the time you know who knows I'm open to it for the first time because back in the day I was like I'll never talk to you again

But now it's like... What opened you up to it?

I think just understanding that everybody has their own issues, whether they're good or bad.

I have to understand that as well.

You know, there's some things that he's going on in his life that he hasn't told me or certain things, right?

And I think just understanding that the parents are still growing up in front of your eyes, so they don't have all the answers, was like, oh, okay, Miles.

Now I know the dad I will be when I have kids.
