Brown Roots

A look at the man who helped shape the father — through presence, absence, wisdom, wounds, discipline, love, or example. This episode inspects the generational roots behind fatherhood and asks how much of a man’s fathering was built by the father before him.

In this episode of the  Brown Roots Podcast , we inspect the difference between  being loved  and  being used . Some men are not asking to be worshiped. They are asking to be heard, respected, and partnered with. But when a man is expected to provide, protect, fix, pay, apologize, lead, serve, and stay silent, love can start to feel less like partnership and more like employment. This is not an at...

In this Father’s Month episode, we inspect the sacred responsibility of being a  Girl Dad . This episode is not about image, hashtags, or fathers performing love for applause. It is about the men raising daughters with presence, protection, patience, and emotional discipline. It is about the fathers who understand that a daughter does not only need a provider — she needs a steady example of safety...

In this Father’s Month episode, we move from the fathers who become headlines to the fathers who rarely get mentioned at all. This episode is dedicated to the men nobody claps for. The fathers who wake up early, go to work, carry pressure, solve problems, protect their families, and keep showing up without cameras, interviews, documentaries, or standing ovations. They may not be perfect men, but t...

After an 18-month hiatus, the Brown Roots Podcast returns with a question that sits at the heart of every family, every community, and every generation: What happens when pain goes unexamined? In this first installment of our Father’s Month series, we begin with the most difficult conversation of all—the fathers who became headlines for all the wrong reasons. Through an emotional clip from the hos...

Stop being fooled into thinking that you are supposed to be a follower. It's time to dump all the information that you’ve been given and get new insight. It's time to go against the grain!

Our platfom is changing and we are currently working on new and better ways to interact

We were all given some skills, freedom and ownership, what we do with them is entirely on us. Maybe you don’t like being wrong; maybe you're afraid of being consistent; or you don't handle the pressure of being a leader. No matter what your rationale is you were given an ability and it's time to use it.

It's time to protect our communities, and that means financial covering. The thought of not being a relationship because you can't be supported like a child or pet is immature and selfish. Let me share my thoughts, and invite you to explore more options on the matter.

The book of manipulation and tricky rules!

Religion was designed to control what people believe live and how they should practice said religion. Spiritual development is a must. We have to learn the intent and purpose of religion.

You can listen, you can understand and you can comprehend; that won't make your relationship work. There are professional communication experts who are in misery. Why because they are holding on to pain and replacing love, happiness and success with the key ingredient with "protection, control and fear!" Let's listen and learn why this skill has been overlooked and why its necess...

We are up to our feelings about these two young people who fought Teachers! Who was right who was wrong? Yo know what because when it comes to selectively protecting our children Boys lose.

Viral video of Substitute Teacher fighting a young girl over her cellphone. When did being an adult turn us into the one that fear children because of our jobs? When does the village get back together and stand behind good parents, helping raise better behaved children and encouraging people to be able to be themselves at work. This is heartbreaking to know that our family dynamics are gone to tra...

We have to stop being afraid of the back lash! Because our kids see the coward in us.

What is a Christofascist: A christian religious extremist. Often a person who believes in forcing a right-wing Christian agenda on the rest of the world. Also known as a 'fundamentalist' or more recently 'evangelical'.  So much of our trauma is born out of religious manipulation and fear of getting even when the power dynamics shift. One day we are going to learn who we are, why th...

So many women are influenced by social media and the likes given to attention whores. Music has caused women to drop their guard to become "pick me!" females and that is played out. Only Ladies Become Queens!

With honesty comes accountability.

We have got to be real with our partners and with ourselves. Yes we all want the truth, but honestly can we handle it?

These kids deserve better.

In a relationship we are too often looking for something that we don't have mastered. We haven't found the joy in ourselves so we are looking to dominate others. Then in other situations we don't know how to treat our mates with warmth and kindness.

We  are going to have to get a backbone and stand for what is right, what is truth and what is just. We can't keep blaming the system, when we have a duty to stop the foolishness long before our friends apply for the position. We can acknowledge and tolerate without accepting and agreeing to feeling, over Fact! We can stop people we know from taking life or causing harm to others by choo...
