With my podcast I wanted to create great conversations of shared meaning with men that I admire, who are making a difference as men. By those three standards, I feel confident saying that this third episode of Race and the Renaissance with my friend Jonathan West might be my best episode of all time. After four conversations so far, we’ve built rapport, a flow, and trust to talk about subjects I don't hear anyone else discussing in the men's space. But with 2022 approaching, we need to. In this conversation Jonathan and I discussed: The Travis Scott Astroworld debacle and what it says about rap music today My experiences living in Ujamaa, the black theme dorm at Stanford The need to eliminate victim consciousness in the men's movement The 90’s movie “Boyz N Tha Hood and what it says about ghetto culture and its place within the black community And finally, the need for black people to reclaim their culture from the corporations packaging and selling it to them. It’s not all heaviness, though. Like a proper barbershop experience, there's heartfelt laughter and real comedy between us too, which is my favorite part. And in that I think we get a glimpse into what a real conversation looks like between men.
