Fathers and Loss: How Grief Changed the Men We Became

In this deeply personal episode, we open up about something that shaped us long before we knew it would...losing our fathers.

This conversation is raw, emotional, and necessary. We share what it meant to be raised by Black fathers, what we learned from them, how their absence still shows up in our lives today, and how grief, even years later, can still hit like a freight train.

We reflect on:

•The roles our fathers played (flawed, strong, silent, protective — or all of the above)

•The day we lost them and how it changed everything

•Regret, pride, anger, gratitude — and how those emotions coexist

•What fatherhood means to us now because of them

•How their legacy still shows up in our values, our leadership, and our love

Whether your father was present or not, whether you’ve lost him or still have him, this episode will hit something in you. This one is for every son trying to make sense of his father’s impact… and for every man trying to become one.

Join us as we keep the conversation going.

👇 We want to hear your stories too. How did your father shape the man (or woman) you’ve become? Drop a comment or DM us.
