My overall delivery or message here, is for us as Black men to be more PROACTIVE in taking care of ourselves. Men in general don’t typically seek care until something is wrong, and we have to change this habit. I also addressed various topics ranging from finding a Primary Care Physician (PCP) to the Top 10 Leading Causes of Death for Black Men and some #GiftedSapphires on staying in care, getting active, and being hydrated in the name of sel...2021-02-251h 09The Bleu LoungeBlack Women’s Health: Addressing the Disparities (ft. Tiffany L. James)This week, Tiffany (@coachingismybiz) returns as my guest, and we’re Lounging with Purpose to discuss Black Women’s Health!!

Recently, the Black Maternal Health MOMNIBUS Act of 2021 was introduced by Congresswoman Lauren Underwood (IL-14), Congresswoman Alma Adams (NC-12), Senator Cory Booker (NJ), and the members of the Black Maternal Health Caucus to “comprehensively address every dimension of the maternal health crisis in America” by building on existing legislation. Join us as we discuss the disparity in maternal & and women’s...2021-02-181h 27The Bleu LoungeI’m Black…and I’m PROUD!!Say It LOUD!!

Shamiah Woods & Mike Williams)This week, I invited Shamiah Woods & Mike Williams, two friends who I have a history of holding tough conversations with, on to the Bleu Lounge Podcast to have a conversation around “Defunding the Police” and Reform. Tune in to hear more about on the reasons why I feel that the title of “Defund the Police” itself is dead, but noting that the movement is still very much alive. My guests this week also discuss their positions and what “Defund the Police” means to each of them. Collectively, we discuss our ideas for pushing the agenda forward for police reform.

Autumn McDaniel & Melissa Carter)After hearing, and being part of discussions around timing during recent weeks, I decided that it was only right to launch Timing 2.0 as a continuance on the previous Timing: Sands of the Hourglass episode. I invited Autumn and Melissa to come Lounge with Purpose with us this week to discuss Timing, but focusing on the ugly monster of feeling behind in life. We discuss everything each of our personal setbacks as well as what feeling behind means to us and our relationships, professional endeavors, mental health, spirituality, and unmasking who we really are.

Following the winter break, I wanted to begin with some spiritual inspiration and speak about being intentional. Jasmine Fitzgerald (@fearher.faith, @iamher.jasmine) was the perfect guest to help guide this conversation. As we both shared parts of our own spiritual journeys, my Sis in Christ definitely dropped some #GiftedSapphires for the Bleu Loungers! My hope for this episode is to inspire us to be intentional in whatever it is this year, even within the pandemic, to achieve our goals. Whether those goals are personal, professional, spiritual, creative, etc…not to give in. And do...2021-01-141h 48The Bleu LoungeTerrorists Not Protesters: Call Them What They Are!In this episode, I’m unpacking the craziness that took place in our nation’s capitol today. In my first segment turned full episode, ‘No, I Won’t Shut Up!’, I express my reaction to the domestic terrorist attack that took place which was incited by Trump. Also, why it is important to address them as they are…because that was not a protest!

We have all felt as if we have raced against time, don’t have enough time, or actually ran out of time. Some people try to makes us do things in their time…F@$! that!
