“Creating a healthy space for Black men to grow”
As a boy growing up in the island of Jamaica, I was always surrounded by Black men including my Dad, seven uncles & both grandfathers. These men helped frame the complex & sometimes unhealthy narrative I held about what it meant to be a Black man. As I got older, the lens through which I saw myself changed. Life & its experiences helped mold my new found truth and now I am bringing everything to the table. This podcast is about unpacking the layers behind what it means to be a Black Man and starting healthy conversations that allow us to grow. 🎙

It’s the premiere episode of The Black Intern and I wanted talk about Black men & our inability to fully express our emotions. It’s called “Normative Male Alexithymia, coined by Ronald F. Levant, and it speaks of how traditional norms or societal restrictions have prevented us from having depth conversations linked to our emotions. This episode introduces us to the uncomfortable conversations that are important in creating a healthy space for Black men to live.
