Black Men In White Spaces
We’re in the middle of a global conversation on racism and its insidious nature. I felt moved enough to present my stories and experiences of racism on a company-wide call along with 4 of my black colleagues. Recounting my experiences and listening to my colleagues share their own was, quite frankly, traumatising and left me…

Blackish
The population of Jamaica is about 97% black, but it wasn’t until 1968 when Karlene Waddell, became the first black woman to win the Miss Jamaica title. Many of the black winners since have features that many could describe as more Eurocentric or less African in appearance. As an English-speaking, majority Afro-descent society, skin tone…

My Dad Is Stronger Than Yours
Dads play a pivotal role in our lives. Children learn how to temper their emotions and physicality through rough play with dad, and they learn how to form secure and healthy relationships through the influence of their dads.

The intention was to talk about a different subject entirely but I wasn’t feeling particularly great and I knew a few of the guys felt similarly. Daniel Doyley, one of the guests on this episode and the voice you…

Marriages Behind Closed Doors
My wife and I have been in a relationship together for 10 years and married for almost six of those. Comparatively speaking, that’s still a very short period of time and I still have a lot to learn as a husband. We’ve had our ups and our downs, times when we’ve felt less connected and…

The Birds and the Bees
Isaac returns for this episode which also features Maurice and Chukwudi as we talk about our experiences and ideas of sex, relationships and marriage. It’s no secret that men think and talk about sex a LOT! But for most of us, we value real connections too. Love, commitment and building something greater with our partners.…
