What does it mean to be a Black man in America today?
Dr. Jacquie continues the State of the Black Male series with a powerful conversation about identity, purpose, mental health, community, and the realities Black men face while navigating today's social, economic, and cultural landscape.
Joined by Jamarcus Fields, Jason Starr, Pam Sams, Charlotte Avery, and Dr. Tierney, the panel explores how Black men find their lane, build meaningful support systems, and create lives rooted in purpose. The discussion examines education, entrepreneurship, financial strategy, mentorship, emotional wellness, and the importance of understanding the systems that shape everyday life.
The conversation also tackles the long-standing stigma surrounding therapy and emotional expression, the impact of unresolved trauma, and why safe spaces, accountability, and community are essential for healing and growth. From raising Black boys and preparing them for the realities of the world to helping Black men define success on their own terms, the panel shares practical wisdom for navigating life's challenges with clarity and confidence.
