#44 Marvyn Harrison on Parenting as a Black Dad in America

Marvyn Harrison is the host of the 'Dope Black Dads' podcast and the CEO of Dope Black CIC, an educational and healing platform designed to improve the outcomes of Black people.In this episode, Marvyn and I dive into a very nuanced and vulnerable conversation around parenting from a distinctly male perspective. Our conversation is not a how-to or guide but a discussion on how our lived experiences and new learnings can impact the way we raise our kids. On the podcast, we also talk about systematic racism, white feminism, and how that all intersects with the way we handle relationships and interact with the world. --If you’ve got a little one or are in need of stylish smaller-sized frames yourself, check out Jonas Paul Eyewear!
