    In XYBM 124, I sit down with Nigel Marcellus, a PhD candidate at the University of Kentucky researching Black love, to explore the complexities of Black love and relationships. We dive into the unique ways Black men and women express their desires for love, and the misconceptions that often arise in these discussions. Nigel shares valuable insights from his research on how these stereotypes impact relationships, and offers actionable advice on how we can challenge them in our own lives. From intentional dating to identifying red and green flags, we examine how Black men can navigate modern dating with more clarity, confidence, and purpose.

    We also explore the healing journey Black men must take to break generational cycles and foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships, and discuss how past wounds and trauma can impact our current relationships and interactions with our partners. This episode is full of thought-provoking insights on vulnerability, trust, and communication, making it a must-listen for anyone looking to grow and improve their relationships.

  • If you want to listen to the full episode (XYBM 124) from this clip, search for the title: "What does Research say about Black Love with Nigel” β€” it was released on February 10, 2025.

    In XYBM 124, I sit down with Nigel Marcellus, a PhD candidate at the University of Kentucky researching Black love, to explore the complexities of Black love and relationships. We dive into the unique ways Black men and women express their desires for love, and the misconceptions that often arise in these discussions. Nigel shares valuable insights from his research on how these stereotypes impact relationships, and offers actionable advice on how we can challenge them in our own lives. From intentional dating to identifying red and green flags, we examine how Black men can navigate modern dating with more clarity, confidence, and purpose.

    We also explore the healing journey Black men must take to break generational cycles and foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships, and discuss how past wounds and trauma can impact our current relationships and interactions with our partners. This episode is full of thought-provoking insights on vulnerability, trust, and communication, making it a must-listen for anyone looking to grow and improve their relationships.

  • If you want to listen to the full episode (XYBM 122) from this clip, search for the title: "How to Support and Retain Black Men in College?” β€” it was released on January 13, 2025.

    In XYBM 122, I sit down with Roderick Smith, the Director of Fayetteville State University’s Male Matriculation Institute. We speak about the challenges universities have retaining Black men β€” a concern that many of our university partners express to us. We discuss why Black men can be disengaged on campus, the fear they experience around self-expression, the importance of building strong communities where healthy disagreements can take place and much more.

    This conversation touches on the real barriers Black men face in education and how we can create spaces for growth, connection, and empowerment to improve retention rates.
