Narr.O.W. Podcast Deryle Daniels, Jr.

A lot of my single friends are going through hell dating right now and, while I haven't been single in over a decade, I decided to take the time on this episode to talk about what I see as an outsider looking in.
While a lot of this is applicable to a lot of 30-somethings, I'm specifically talking to my Black folks who are out here looking for love. Make sure it's foundational. Especially those choosing a person to pro-create with, know that that is for life and you need to know that person well as you make that decision.

How do we continue letting people, especially those under the legal voting age, get killed by these inanimate objects that are weilded by untable people?
I didn't edit this episode at all. This is raw. Because America has grown so calloused to children dying due to firearms that I felt like, maybe, if I shared some emotion, people have to do something... right?

No spoiler alerts but seeing Creed III reminded me that, for many Black men across America, survivor's remorse is a triggering norm. This episode focuses on the fact that those of us who consider ourselves to have attained a level of success cannot fail because of the people who positioned themselves against insurmountable odds so that I can be here now living the life that I do.
Brothers, take care of your mental health. And keep going.

I'm sick of them killing us and then the media turning around to show the footage as if it is a Micheal Jordan highlight reel that was created to be played on repeat. Black children, women, and men should not have to prove their humanity to not be killed, especially by those who are sworn to protect and serve us.
I refuse to watch these videos.

Christmas is right around the corner and, what is, for many, the most wonderful time of the year, is a reminder for many others of those who will not be around the tree with them this year. And, for others, it is a season of stress where we try to be the parents, spouses, and loved ones we aspire to be by way of gift-giving. On this episode, I address the beauty of Christmas and the challenges that come alongside it.
Whether you're celebrating joyfully or somberly remembering loved ones, I hope that you find as many reasons to smile as possible this holiday season.

As I jump back into podcasting after an unusually long hiatus, I'm in the best space I've been in in a long while. The peace, joy, and relief I felt as I was recording this episode was nothing short of divine. Season 5 is here and I hope you all are ready for some dope episodes, both individual and with guests. Here's to 35!
