Tales to feed your inner child, and also soothe its hungry spirit. We strive for inner peace and work towards daily mental stability. Bipolar is only my diagnosis it is not who I am.

Life with a 4 yr old
So I’ve been recording conversations between myself and my super advanced toddler. I’ve had the blessing of raising 3 children who are currently 16,13, and 4 and being able to have these amazing conversations have been nothing short of amazing.

1985 Flow
Gaining knowledge is something I told myself that I would make a priority this year and for my future. I always considered myself intelligent but sometimes you have to shut up to receive more downloadable content. This is a collection of messages that have been led to myself.

The universe has a way of showing you what you need and what you need to do to keep your blessings. When you don’t listen it must correct and show you what it requires for you to bounce back, for me my wife Jiera was a blessing she was what I needed to remind myself of how I was always supposed to be but as a man when you put your ego and pride ahead of your commitment to your partner then what is keeping them attached to you….

Disconnect
The disconnect between the black man and women is growing at an alarming rate, it’s as if those “old racial” reasons for separation are still embedded in our DNA

Rich Niggas
Kendrick is homeless but to him, he is Rich as hell! Some people live off Currency and some of us live by what life enriches us with Life! Yes money makes life easier but does it make your whole?

The universe is one of those things that allows for unlimited access to knowledge to be poured through different individuals and I’ve been blessed to share knowledge, because what other power do we have?

Ok So A Libra, Sagittarius, Leo, and Taurus walk into a Bar…
Sometimes Trauma Bonding can turn into a fruitful conversation that sometimes by the grace of God blooms into a respected brotherhood. Life is about risking everything to be who you want to be in life, and that my friends can be a lonely road… sometimes. I've had the pleasure of meeting the most laid back chilled and humble (MALE LEO) 😭 we know them, men, ♌ be a little toxic lol. I also met the most nurturing & relatable ♐ Woman, in my current life. ♉ is a newfound love for me, but this ♉ tops the cake! Enjoy

Man this energy is a whole different beast of problems. Between grown men in there absolute feelings. To grown women talking to men as though they Niggas as well. Welp the Island of Dr. Monroe was a place for misfits.

Toxic Coparenting
It’s funny how the universe shows you truly who you are, it’s crazy how a lot of men especially black men deal with Toxic Coparenting. It’s sad to say that I deal with this disease daily. Hopefully one day we will all do the work individually & collectively to kill a virus that allows Women to use the system when they want to punish Men for just simply wanting to live life without them. But also using our children as collateral damage. They do say that in War no one is innocent.

In Session
In light of Men's Mental Health Month, had the pleasure of having my first open podcast episode where men joined and gave their reflection of therapy on themselves, the community, and others. I believe therapy is what we all need to help us become a better version of who we are always meant to be.

Structure
Had the pleasure of speaking with Brother Jabril Muhammad, funny thing is this was our first convo and felt like we knew each other for decades. We discuss marriage, his love for engineering and how he is powering the science to our communities. I loved ever moment of this experience and look forward to more conversations. Hands down this conversation was very soul enriching.

Leap
Had the extreme pleasure of talking with my long-time brother Christopher Berrios. We talk about our history, our love for our children, and the love of our black women. Chris like myself leaped faith and found himself grounded down south after living in Philly his whole life. This man is the definition of what it means to be a MelaninDad.

Reflection
Caught up with Queen Knox and we talk generational curses and the need for her to always wear the crown when it comes to her childrens upbringing, and the desire to always enrich their minds this was a much needed convo and loved every bit of it. Sorry for the audio unable to edit due to computer crashing.

Goals
I had the pleasure of speaking with Dave Goldsmith. A two-time girl dad, and Philly's hottest and one of the most successful black realtors in the city. We talk about raising girls, how he went from retail to have a very thriving real estate business, his dedication to his community, and making sure people of color have a fair and equal state in the Housing game.
