THE STAGESFatherhood and Health: Pt.ISpades is a college graduate, Garvey is making art and melting hearts, and The H is in full teenage mode raging against the machine (a.k.a. showers). This episode, however, is about us. The pressures we face as fathers now and the pressures we faced early on in our parenthood journeys. It is said that pressure creates diamonds, and while that's scientifically factual, it can also create distress - mental, emotional and physical - when that pressure becomes overwhelming. We sit in the middle of Mental Health Awareness Month, and the tough reflections in this episode are an important...2021-05-111h 00THE STAGESThe Murder of a Father in ProgressThe brutal murder of George Floyd moved a nation in depressive denial of its racist soul. It moved those beyond our borders who could relate to the abject inhumanity we witnessed in that act. It also moved your hosts of The Stages in significant ways… to tears, to rage, to action, to education, to reflection, to protection and to conversation. This ‘Time Capsule’ episode was our first live dialogue about the murder of George Floyd, five days after his life was taken. We’ve held it for almost a year, which is how long it took for the legal pursuit...2021-04-0154 minTHE STAGESMessages to Our Younger SelvesChristopher Nolan’s original films all have a beautiful perspective on time and specifically communication as related to the construct of time. He’s found a fascinating way to explore the subject of time travel that we’re all obsessed with in one way or another. In this episode, we time travel back to ourselves at our son’s current ages to deliver some advice to 13- and 23-year-old Kamau² and Adrian. Young Garvey is a special guest on this episode doing exactly what he should be doing at two years old… loving life, disrupting the status quo, and making the...2021-02-1542 minTHE STAGESThe Extended Family at The BarbershopThe value and comfort of community have reached new heights in the Black American psyche with the dueling pandemics (COVID and White Nationalism/Racism) we faced in 2020. A reflection on this was the lead-in to our reflection on safe havens in the Black community, and specifically The Barbershop which has often been referred to as the "Black Man's Country Club." O'Shea Jackson' Sr. (a.k.a. Ice Cube) has celebrated the Barbershop and its role in the black community, our lines and our son's lives. This inspired Kamau² and Adrian to ponder why Cube did not leverage that sacred s...2021-01-1247 minTHE STAGESTIME CAPSULE: Insurrection and IntegrationOn the immediate heels of a transcendent psychedelic experience shared by KzA and Kamau Ware, the two connect with Adrian to discuss the mindlessly destructive events at the Capitol Building on January 6th.

There is no greater influence, however, than our own familial situations and in this episode Kamau² and Adrian discuss the role their fathers played in their lives, how their Fathers influence their journeys through fatherhood, what Father's Day means in the Black community and what Father's Day has meant to them since stepping into that all-important role. (Recorded June 2020)

That pursuit of the perfect home, nursery and kids room that gives comfort to the process of welcoming a child into the world. However, nesting is an instinct for fathers as well - one that is tied more so to how we think about home after our children have arrived, and throughout their growth. This episode of THE STAGES explores how Kamau² and Adrian observe their nesting instincts in their d...2020-11-0955 minTHE STAGESHopes and Fears For Our SonsEvery parent - for every moment of parenthood - has their own set of hopes and fears for their children. It is innate and inherent in our role as parents. Those hopes and fears are heightened exponentially when you know where the monsters are and what the monsters look like. As Black women, Black men, Black boys and girls lives have been taken mindlessly and senselessly, Kamau² and Adrian discuss the state of the world, the state of racism, the state of assault on "other" and how that all impacts the way they father, the way they dream and t...2020-10-2039 minTHE STAGESWelcome to The Stages!In this introductory episode, you’ll meet your hosts Kamau Ware, Adrian Franks and Kamau Z. Akabueze (KzA) and you’ll also learn a bit about the story that led to this series. The show is called The Stages, because Kamau ² and Adrian are the same age, but have sons at vastly different ages - 2, 13 and 22. They are also all at very different stages in their relationships, mental and physical health journeys, and in their careers. These rarely public discussions between Black fathers should be more of the norm in our society and we hope that our show encourages more on th...2020-10-0430 min
