I'm grateful that I am blessed to hold a space such as this.  A place where black men, such as our guest, Author TJ Sykes can give continue to give  the world his authentic self whereas it invokes others to step into that state of vulnerability.

The beauty of a black man's journey within vulnerability  is the" peace " you hear that comes from within him. The calming sense of purpose. The non-judgemental perspective where there is only curiosity .
Or that could be the poet in TJ.
Or King.
Or inner child.
I believe it may be all. Enjoy family

Listening to KJ & Chance you will forget the perils of youth and simply remember how it feels to be young ,the embracement of a newfound freedom, and the thought that though the world around you may be chaotic, there is hope. Honestly, that's  what this episode feels like.
Hope.
Freedom.
Truth.
Two young black men, from opposites sides of the country who have become brothers , speak about first loves, growing up in their respective towns, and how it it felt to be in a state of vulnerability in front of their community.

Ross,  simply provokes thought.

In this enthralling episode, Ross discusses Malcolm X,  almost losing a foot, taking care of his body, wanting to reach the age of 100, growing up in The Bay,  western civilization' social  hierarchy, fatherhood, co-parenting, gentrification,  and his admiration for the genius of  Octavia Butler.

Host, Writer, and Producer  Lawrence Quincy Milton Jr gives a brief introduction into what we will hear, feel and discover on the Create The Space's Podcast

When an Elder speaks, I listen.  And man, did the Elder speak. His word and  wisdoms felt like a  constant ray of  blessings upon my soul. I have no qualms with how long this episode lasted. I still sit on this episode and resonate with his teachings, his thoughts and parables. Guillermo causes introspection. And I believe that's one of the many gifts of an Elder. To make the young give pause in life and reflect. 

I'm sure you will gain what is necessary from his words as I did and continue to do so. This is an episode you will come back to from time to time.
