  • Professor Odi’s Episode is 🔥

    I’ve tuned into at least 20 episodes and they have all been very informative. This episode in particular goes very deep into what it is that we as Black men need from others and need to do for ourselves. I want to start having conversations like these with the young Black men I work with in my community.

  • Necessary Conversations

    I listen to Express Yourself Black Man as a single mom raising a Black boy, and as a Black woman who still believes in love and marriage with a Black man. This podcast has been such a meaningful space to listen, learn, and better understand the experiences, emotions, and perspectives of Black men. It’s refreshing, honest, and necessary. I truly believe this is a great place for Black women who want to grow in how we support our Black men. Keep up the great work.

    It’s been an amazing experience in the realization what society has preprogrammed me to do and feel and think and know I’m not the only one.

  • Very important podcast

    This podcast was recommended to me as a means to better understand my son (I’m a white mom parenting a biracial boy). So so happy I gave it a listen! This has me appreciating my husband in a whole new way, and looking at how we parent in a new lens. I love the way the host and guests explain their points of view. Love this podcast.
