An “Out-East” raised brother, Army National Guardsman ⭐️ , and a father joins our podcast on today. Jeremy Rawls takes the time to sit down and vent with us about some of his early on entrepreneurship woes, but before we even get into his business journey … Jeremy went through a tough period of homelessness. He vented about resiliency, which exactly what it takes to get through almost a year of sleeping in your car. Jeremy says he learned so much from that experience, and it built a “mental muscle” that was able to help sustain him for life ahead.

CALLING ALL TSU STUDENTS, STAFF, AND ALUMNI IN ON TODAY’S EPISODE 🐅💙

Let’s 🔒 in ‼️

Born in New York, but growing up in Memphis, basketball was something that David found a passion in. Time surpassed, realizing that his height wasn’t matching his dreams, he switched up his career and leaned more into music. Growing up in church, he always had a natural talent behind it. A proud student of Tennessee State University, David has taken off with his musical career since being a part of the HBCU. He prides himself on using a live band, and having that be his niche when performing. Ever heard of “Tiny Dorm” Concerts? Again, our guest is truly a creative and does these small dorm room live band concerts that you can find on his Instagram page. By far one of the most unique artists in our city, you’d have to check his catalog to hear the uniqueness in his voice, music, and overall approach to his craft. He vents about how it has been mentally being a part of TSU. Guys, get ready … cause David has some things he wants to get off his chest and he does that today on our show. Take some time to listen to a black man vent today. ✌🏽

Good Morning Nashville ☀️

We first want to pay homage to any veteran that is listening to our podcast on today. Sir or Madam, if you’re reading this, we thank you for your service to this country. 🇺🇸

With that, we figured think that one episode wouldn’t suffice for a day such as today. So, in honor of Veterans Day we decided to drop TWO EPISODES IN ONE WEEK! 🔥

Not one, but ✌🏽 episodes. No time to waste. Let’s 🔒 in!

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is a movement formed in 1909, and now stretched all across our nation in various cities and states. Today, we have the President of the Nashville Chapter of the NAACP, none other than Nashville native Mr. Jonathan “JDubb” Williamson. ⭐️

Joelton Elementary, Kings Lane (now Robert E. Lillard Elementary), Head Magnet School, Nashville School of the Arts, MTSU, any of these schools sound familiar Nashville? Mr. Williamson’s journey has accompanied all of these schools here in the city. So he definitely has seen the city grow in a many of ways. A now father, he has experienced a lot but has made sure that those experiences didn’t hinder him from the work needing to be done behind advocating for our culture. An opportunity presented itself overtime where at MTSU, he blossomed and served within a many of groups, organizations, and leadership positions. Fast forward to today, he is again the President of the Nashville NAACP Chapter. ⭐️

Today on the show, he vents about “placeholders” within the organization and how often times those that have a position, want the title but not the work. This episode is jam packed … take some time to listen to a black man vent today. ✌🏽

Good Morning Nashville ☀️

Man are we excited to be a part of you guys new week, as we bring forth another great episode from the ONLY black father and son podcast in the state of Tennessee. ⭐️ No time to waste, let’s get into today’s episode.

Anytime we get a chance to bring a mental health professional on to our podcast, we consider it a privileged opportunity. Not only is this brother a mental health professional, but he is also an author, public speaker, entrepreneur, and father. We’re excited to present to some and introduce to others, our guy Mr. James Bush. ✌🏽

Do we have any “DMV” folks listening in on today’s podcast? 👀

James Bush is a proud native of the D.C, Maryland, & Virginia area and vents heavily about the “East Coast grind” being young growing up. Moving to Nashville in 99’, Mr. Bush attended Fisk University with the hopes of making his mark here in the city. But, it didn’t start out as he had it planned. A 2-time college dropout, he had all the odds against him. Working any and every job to keep himself afloat, he knew internally that his purpose was bigger than his current circumstances. Mr. Bush vents on the show about the “state of black people” … a loaded general topic of conversation that you don’t want to miss. Take some time to listen to a black man vent today. 🙏🏽

Let’s get into today’s episode! 🔥

We are excited to bring one of my pops good friends, a minister at Prosperity Missionary Baptist Church, Reverend O.C. Lawrence. ⭐️ We want to first thank Mr. Lawrence on spending some time of his life with the US Military, as a service, fighting for our country. Growing up in Franklin, Tennessee, Mr. O.C. says that things have changed a lot. He vents about some of the commonalities and differences between the millennial, “gen Z”, & the baby boomer generations. We also get into conversation about how, if left in the wrong hands, this country could quickly become a dictatorship. We as people have to be mindful of our rights to vote, as it pays homage to those that fought for us to have that right. In today’s episode we also touch on co-parenting, and how our guest mentally has navigated through that. Take some time to listen to a black man vent today. 🙏🏽

CALLING ALL TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY ALUMNI, STAFF, AND CURRENT STUDENTS 🐅💙

During homecoming last week, we decided to pull a guest from the pool of great legends that have walked TSU’s campus over the years. Today, we present to some and introduce to others, Nashville’s very own DJ “SpiffyBoyDanny” ⭐️ to the podcast! We unpack a lot in today’s episode with Daniel as he talks about his journey through the DJ industry. For high school, he went to Nashville School of the Arts & attended the great Tennessee State University for college. Paying homage to late DJ greats in the city like DJ Malik, & DJ Svnny Dee who were major influences in his success; he comes and vents about his frustrations with the crime and killings in our city. In February of 2021, Daniel lost his best friend to gun violence. A friend that he says “traveled with him everywhere” and always was there to support him. This has been something that we as a community have been loud about for years. Sons, nephews, grandsons are being taken from this earth everyday by senseless shootings. We hope that today’s episode can shine light on those frustrations, and mentally how we can aim to prevent these occurrences moving forward.

Today’s episode is one that tells a story of a true miracle, you’re in for a good one.

Our guest on today’s show is a young man that is a walking miracle, with such a powerful testimony. Leukemia is defined as a cancer, one that affects blood-forming tissues and hinders the body’s ability to fight infection. Daniel Drumwright, is today’s special guest on the Black Men Vent Too Podcast. ⭐️ Nashville, he is a SURVIVOR of leukemia, and has one hell of a story behind it. He comes to vent on the show about his journey behind mentally dealing within his newfound diagnosis. Like many of us, Daniel was born with normal eyesight, enjoying his daily activities and thriving in them. It wasn’t until the Fall 2014 that he began having vision issues in his right eye. Seeing a specialist, he was told that there was swelling in his retina and he would need injections. Time surpassed, and around his 30th birthday after a trip to Vegas, he tried to get out the bed and hit the wall with his shoulder … he knew then that something was wrong. Daniel was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, an extreme increase in one’s white blood cell count. Guys, it’s so much to unpack with this one … don’t miss out on today’s chance to hear a black man vent today. ✌🏽
