Messages to Our Younger Selves

Christopher 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 Good Trouble we know he always will. (Recorded November 2020)

The Murder of a Father in Progress

The 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 of justice to begin. (Recorded May 30, 2020)

SEASON 1 TRAILER

Welcome 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 this kind of discourse in your lives and amongst the people you can learn from and grow with.

The Extended Family at The Barbershop

The 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 space in the community before leaning into dialogue with a Presidential cabinet who does not have this community's best interest at heart.

Our Fathers and Our Fatherhood

There are so many influences that effect the way that parents parent - from the way we are raised to the real and fictional families we observe growing up. 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)

Hopes and Fears For Our Sons

Every 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 the way they protect their sons.

Freestyle - cbd

This is the first Freestyle episode., and the Trapkasters talk about everything!!! They get into their "Conscious Weed" bag with the new Ben & Jerry's CBD ice cream. They talk about Tyler the Creator’s album IGOR. The Trapkasters also ask themselves is T.I.’s son Domani Harris the real deal. They even ask themselves what the f**k happened to Anthony Joshua in that fight. The mood goes into a different direction when they talk about the The Central Park 5, but they end everything off the right way with trolls vs rappers and that ratchet sh*t talk.
