Description

In this powerful and unfiltered episode of YANA, host James Trice sits down with special guest Danny Alford for a deeply honest conversation about what it means to be a Black man in America—navigating identity, visibility, faith, and societal expectations.

This episode is a safe, judgment-free space where Black men speak truth and are heard.

Topics covered include:

• Why many Black men feel invisible in media, society, and even in the church.
• The struggle of relating to God as "Father" when that role is absent or painful in personal history.
• The disconnect between the Black Church and Black men—especially when societal issues like racism, police violence, and systemic injustice are left unspoken.
• The deep need for representation, care, and acknowledgment from institutions that claim to serve us.
• Personal stories, introspection, and a challenge for churches and communities to do better.

Don’t miss this raw, thought-provoking dialogue that explores what it truly means to be seen, heard, and valued—not just in society, but in spiritual spaces too.
