Black Father Hood Row Jones

What is the big deal about depression? Can't you just talk to someone about it? Sounds easy right?

Episode 8 discusses how depression can go unnoticed in the black community and specifically with black men. The struggles of having the conversation with your peers or family. How access to resources can be limited, but at the same time the resources available go unused Join me in exploring the stigmas, stats and opinions on depression in black men.

Episode 7 discusses the mindset behind young black players who may or may not have grown up with a black father, but may find comfort (or anxiety) in being surrounded by non black-  male authority in sports. In this particular instance the NFL. Do these players end up seeing the coaches and other male staff as father figures? What about the playes that have strong bonds with their fathers and families in general? Do they get looked at as outsiders? Are the inclined to lead? Are they allowed to lead?

There are so many questions and maybe you have the answers, but the discussion begins here!

Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, is a major hub for crime on the east coast. At times, one of the most dangerous places to live in America. High incarceration rates, high non-violent crime, and worst of all high homicide rates. This is also one of the blackest cities in America. I'm sure the history of the treatment of black livelihood in this country and cities like this contributed to much of this criminal environment. The destruction of black fathers, drug dependency from birth, and the aforementioned incarceration rates, the bombing of neighborhoods, etc. The treatment of drugs as a criminal offense has taken so many of us off the streets. Drugs leading to armed robberies and homicides. Too many correlations to count. 
Many rappers I listened to growing up with always boasted that Philadelphia has "more bodies than days". I identified with this and thought it was cool to promote these statistics. Because where I grew up, the more dangerous your area, the more clout you had. Similar to West Coast gang culture. Now I find it pretty cool to promote the  other side of the game, which prompted me to start something like the Black Father Hood. 
On this next episode, I am discussing how black father hood and prisons have been tied together to almost be synonymous. I'll be discussing the statistics, facts, and my POV. Tune in!

Episode 3 takes a dive into The First 13 weeks of pregnancy for a couple. It is well documented what women go through during this time, but it's not easy to find out what men may G on through. If anything. There's gong to be even less information on black men. I was able to speak to some personal experience and research found to give some insight into what goes on for black men during this time! Tune in!
