Black Boomer Besties from Brooklyn
Ep194 A Black Naval Officer Tells The Truth About War And Gratitude
Sep 01, 2026
Season 20
Episode 1
Angella Fraser & Leslie Osei-Tutu
We bring Angi’s older brother, Mark, on the mic for family stories that quickly turn into an unfiltered look at life as the only Black officer on a naval ship and what war at sea does to your mind and your priorities. We laugh about Brooklyn memories while we sit with the weight of combat, loss, and the lifelong work of fully coming home whole.
