We all have had the unfortunate experience of hearing male podcast and the tired conversations about what an alpha male is. While it can be easy to ridicule and belittle these men, in order to reshape the conversation and change our trajectory we have to understand how things became this way. Men are not born to be emotionally unavailable and repressed. They were raised that way. In order for our future to be better we have to raise our young men better......  Join me this week with special guest Dr. Ed-dee Williams as we deconstruct the concept of masculinity, black fatherhood, and manhood from the prospective of black boys. If you have any questions or would like to engage with us email us @ dontbecc@gmail.com or check out our instagram @complainerscornerpod

Often times we look at forgiveness as a cornerstone to healing but is that realistic? Some things that happen to us effect us at our very core, making it impossible for us to "return" to our original state..... when thinking of these things how can something so earth shattering be forgiven? And why would my healing be contingent on giving someone else a pass?I believe that often times people can't forgive and heal because we don't allow them too... This episode we confront toxic forgiveness culture and learn how to give people room to be angry and unforgiving in order to heal. Let's talk about it! If you have any questions or would like to engage with us email us @ dontbecc@gmail.com or check out our instagram @complainerscornerpod
