Presenting to some and introducing to others, our good friend and sister Destiné Perkins. ✌🏽 Destiné comes to the show today to vent about a lot of things she’s experienced within her spiritual transition. Earlier in the show, we talk about all the dynamics associated with the unfortunate death of her child’s father, the infamous and well-respected DJ in our city, Malik Khayyam. 🕊️ For the first time, Destiné admits to a lot of mental struggles she faced not only hearing the tragic news, but also hearing more things about him even after his passing. Nonetheless, a beautiful baby girl 🌺 was the result of what others may perceive as a bad situation. Destiné talks about her daughter truly being her saving grace, and has helped her along her journey of turning from the world, and leaning more into Jesus and her faith. She attests to the fact that even before she knew God, He was in the midst to show Himself true even when she wasn’t following Him with intention. We all make mistakes, but Destiné assures us that her new walk is far more calculated than her old walk. This episode is loaded with good conversation and of course a great story, take some time to listen to a black woman vent today. ❤️ “Have You Heard A Black Man Vent Today?”™️ We are 23 streams away from 23,000 streams across ALL podcasting platforms!

THE THEME OF THIS MONTH: MENTAL HEALTH & ME ‼️ To anyone listening in today … as black men, we have to really be more intentional behind protecting our black women. With that said … let’s get into today’s second episode for our Mental Health & Me Season on the Black Men Vent Too Podcast ⭐️ Coming all the way from Dickson county, talking to today’s guest felt like we were at home in the backyard … enjoying a cookout with family. Speaking of, she is family to us! And it’s just amazing how small the world can be, but how God will connect the dots to get you to where you need to be. 🙏🏽 This young lady surely wears a lot of hats, is truly multi-faceted, and never sits down. BMVT is proud to present to some and introduce to others, the mother, the Doctor, the wife, the coach, and our dear cousin and friend … Dr. Denise Knowles ⭐️ Dr. Denise is a HUGE advocate for family, as she highlights her children, marriage, and how important it is to possess a positive co-parenting dynamic if that is the situation at hand. She vents with us about how she had experienced relationships that were not serving her well. As black women, a bad relationship and the trauma surrounding it can show on their body without us as men even recognizing it. Well, there is a young man by the name of Demetrius Knowles, that assured Dr. Denise that her scars were just a part of a beautiful canvas. Marriage is highly underrated in today’s time because it’s often looked at as a “business” or a contractual agreement. But in today, Dr. Denise talks about how “Dee” helped her to truly embrace her femininity and thrive in it. We got a good one for you guys, take some time to listen to a black woman vent today. ✌🏽 “Have You Heard A Black Man Vent Today?”™️ We are blessed to have been heard in over 107 countries at least one time.

    “Mental Health & ME” With Lavonda “Mikki” Brown ✌🏽

    Good Morning Nashville ☀️ WE ARE EXCITED TO BE DEBUTING AN ALL NEW SEASON, DEDICATING THE ENTIRE MONTH OF MAY TO THE BLACK WOMEN IN OUR COMMUNITY! THE THEME OF THIS MONTH: MENTAL HEALTH & ME ‼️ To anyone listening in today … as black men, we have to really be more intentional behind protecting our black women. With that said … let’s get into today’s first episode for our Mental Health & Me season on the Black Men Vent Too Podcast ⭐️ A native of Kansas City, Missouri, migrating here three years ago, and raised by a single mother that she says “did not play”. We present to some and introduce to others our good friend and sister Mrs. Lavonnda “Mikki” Brown. ⭐️ Being the first out of her siblings to go to college, she originally went to school to be a mathematician. While not taking on that career fully, she was able to learn something’s that led her to working at a bank after graduating from college. She talks to us about going through pregnancy during her 3rd year of school, while working roughly 40-45 hour weeks as well as be enrolled in a dual-enrollment program that had her split between two schools. She gives God all the credit and the glory, and really encourages our audience to walk through their mental health journey with a little more faith. ✝️ But, isn’t it often frustrating when someone will tell you to just “pray” your problems away? For some, it may not be as easy as sending up a prayer, and often times we miss the opportunity to be present by thinking that a prayer is the immediate answer to immediate issues. We talk with Mrs. Mikki about the line between mental health and faith, and how it becomes jaded in conversation with which one should benefit the other. You’ll enjoy today’s episode, take some time to listen to a black woman vent today. ✌🏽 “Have You Heard A Black Man Vent Today?”™️ We are blessed to have been heard in over 107 countries at least one time.

Marcus spent some time overseas playing basketball, and told us that his mother’s values instilled in him gave him what he needed to be successful. Overseas, he talks with us about how it’s so important to not dwell on the “highs”, because the same way fans will love you one day, they’ll hate you the next. How many times have we seen professionals play years in their respective sport, but can’t come down from the excitement of what that life brings?

Reggie pays homage to his late grandmother, and talks heavily about her influence in his life. He also vents with us about how for a long period of time, he was so self reliant that it became detrimental to his health. Like most black men … we don’t ask for help, because it presents a sign of weakness or lack of knowledge.

    Good Morning Nashville ☀️ Welcome to The Black Men Vent Too Podcast! It truly is a blessing to have you guys support what we do, who we are, and how we advocate for men and mental health with our platform. Whether you’re black or white, we have embraced all men on our platform understanding that mental health is bigger than color. And it is our weekly goal to ensure that we are providing a safe space for these men to share their story, so that we gain various lived experiences and perspective on how to better handle those mental things we deal with each and every day 🙏🏽 LET’S LOCK IN ON TODAY’S EPISODE ‼️ Did you guys know that in Nashville, we have our very own ABA Team? Take some time to lock in on our segment break in today’s episode, where we give you guys a little history lesson behind the ABA, and how the ABA was a catalyst to what the NBA is today. The Nashville Aces ♠️ represent as our ABA team and we could be more than excited to have a brother that surely has a big hand behind the team being developed to what it is today. Following our platform means you know that we advocate for black men and mental health, but we never shun or dismiss an opportunity to bring a brother on the show of a different race/ethnicity. With that being said, we’re excited to introduce to you guys our white ✌🏻 brother and friend, Mr. Duncan McClure ⭐️ Duncan comes to the show to vent a bout a lot of subjects that can be related to by any man. One thing he discusses with us, is the culture of entrepreneurship and how important it is to be consistent. “There is no short cut in consistency.” It is so important to embrace the journey, before getting to the destination. Duncan talks about how often times we try to “cheat” our way to the top, and how you dismiss the experiences that come with adversity. In August of 2025, Duncan vents with us about a moment in his life … that changed his life. It brought adversity, doubt, depression, and more, but to see him walking today based off his story … is nothing short of a miracle. Take some time to listen to a white brother vent today ✌🏻 “Have You Heard A Black Man Vent Today?”™️ Do you have ✌🏽 minutes to spare?

“We Are A Nashville Based Podcast That Focuses On Open & Opinionated Conversations About Black Men Issues” Father and Son duo Leon Davis, Jr. & Johnathon Davis have created a platform that gives listeners both a millennial and “old school” perspective on black men issues and mental health. Too many black men suffer from years of suppressed emotions. This podcast provides these men with a chance to get things off their chest while hopefully, with their testimony, inspiring other black men to do the same as well. It’s time for your voice to be heard brother … come vent with us today 🎙🖤 #BMVT
