On September 16th, my father's physical light was extinguished. He was my rutter, my guy, my best of the best friend. Charles S. Corprew, Jr. was a juggernaut of a man. He was the penultimate father.
To honor his legacy, author Romal Tune joins me on the show to discuss his forthcoming book, "I Wish My Dad: The Power of Vulnerable Conversations Between Fathers and Sons." This book is a wonderful primer, co-authored by 17 men discussing the things they wish their fathers had done in their relationships. For me, I wish my dad was still here! For many, they detail how they wished their fathers had been there more often, or had been more vulnerable, or had been more loving. Fathers are the staples of our lives and this book and these authors highlight how some fathers need to step up. Yet others, like me, I wish my dad had seen me get married or coupled. I wish my dad had a grandson to love on as he loved on me for 50+ years. I wish my dad was still here!
The conversation between Romal and I weaves its way through overcoming trauma, showing up in a world trauma-free, and to understanding the roles of our fathers in our lives and how these folx are pivotal to our ability to thrive in the world. I just have to say this - I have the dopest guest on this show!
