  • NBA Fake Trade Machine Activated for the New Year
    Jan 5 2024

    Happy New Year and Welcome back to A Modern Man Podcast! We are back in 2024 and starting the new year a little bit differently. As you may know I am an avid lover of the NBA and always have hundreds of NBA fake trades in my head. This week I decided to release a little of the nonsense running through my head when I am texting my friends all these fake NBA trades. I hope you enjoy and let me know which trades you like or what moves you want your team to make!

    On this podcast I dive back into meditation which has been a big part of my life for the past 3 years. I went back to meditating silently for 10 minutes a day then speaking what came up into my practice. I hope you enjoy my first podcast back in a while. The content isn't the most in depth but we do what we can.

  • Dissecting 'Between the World and Me' and the Conceptualization of Ta-Nehisi Coates
    Mar 11 2022

    In this podcast, I dissect the major themes of the acclaimed autobiographical story about Ta-Nehisi Coates. The story is a beautiful written depiction of the Black experience told to Ta-Nehisi's son. Then I conceptualize Ta-Nehisi through a feminist theoretical orientation. Come on this journey with me.
