His teachings need to be part of every black home

The fact that everything he is saying is still relevant today is crazy

It makes me so sad to know THIRTY years later, our parents and grandparents knew the answers to breaking our generational curses and ignored them because it was inconvenient to them.

"If you destroy the boy, he will never become a man." Truer words have never been spoken.

I was so blessed to have my father in my life until I was 51 years old. He was married to my mother the whole time. It made a big difference in my life.

I skipped over this video for about 6 months. Today I watched it and will be a better man, father, uncle, brother because of it.

42 years old and just found out about this man and his lectures in year 2022. I am a father of a 7yr old black boy too. This lecture is so on point 35 yrs later. I have been shaking my head listening just amazed how he broke everything down and how everything remains relevant tdy

I’m a young black man and I wish I had a mentor like this. Imagine all black men an women have mentors that tell the truth like this. We would be more successful and it would be very difficult to oppress us.

31 years later and this is still very much relevant. That isn’t a coincidence, it’s definitely a conspiracy.
