In the Blackseat
In the Blackseat is an unfiltered view of the Black experience, as told by Black people. Join us as we discuss everything from raising Black children to Black hair to being Black in the diaspora - this is a no holds barred exploration of the beauty, pain and diversity of being Blackity Black in the world today. In a world that stays trying to tell us who we are, we are controlling the narrative.

Episode 9
Black dads are more likely to be in the home and be involved in child rearing, but you would NEVER know that if you looked at the media. I want you to meet three Black dads - Orlando, Tangier and Ed. They are amazing fathers, period, but have an extra responsibility as they raise their Black boys and girls. How do you help your children keep their innocence, while preparing them to face a world that will be hostile to them, solely based on their skin? You gotta hear how the fellas share what they love about being a dad, as well as their Black heroes and sheroes. It's an AMAZING ride in the Blackseat (and makes me appreciate my wonderful daddy even more!)
