Dynamic Conversations From the Heart. Today we speak with a 21 year old black man regarding his perspective of living as a black man and the nuances that he must adapt to in order to stay safe. As a bonus we speak with a 33 year old black woman who gives her perspectives of having to raise a young black son (7 years old). We are at a critical time in our nation and we all must remember that this process will take time but we cannot give up, we cannot stop, we must continue until we see complete dismantling of the systems of racism and oppression.
