Episode 8: Jamoki Dantzler Black Men We Know
-
- Comedy Interviews
What a perfect time to talk with this month's guest Jamoki Dantzler, a Licensed Professional Counselor! We visited his childhood as a military brat in Germany and all over the US before moving on to his desire to embrace his Black identity and his efforts to find parent-approved role models, like the Fresh Prince (so timely!). We laughed at how, for both of us, Black stand-up comedy inspired and attracted us in the 80s, and how we both harbor unrealized dreams of stand-up careers. And we eventually, gravitated towards big questions like why Black kids so often don't seek therapy, and how social media and new technology are giving kids more awareness of mental health issues but also raising their threshold for seeing and sharing violence. Join us!
