In this episode of The Male Perspective, host Lana Reid sits down with Jamey Jenkins, Owner and CEO of Hello Black Man, for a reflective conversation about healing, self-discovery, and the power of intentional journaling. Jamey shares how the Hello Black Man journal series was created as a space for Black men to slow down, reflect, and engage in guided prompts that support emotional wellness, self-awareness, and personal growth.

Throughout the discussion, Jamey talks about the role of writing as a healing practice, why self-reflection is often overlooked in conversations about Black men’s mental and emotional health, and how journaling can become a tool for affirmation and transformation. He also discusses how the Hello Black Man brand has expanded to include journals for various communities and life stages, along with a clothing line and podcast.

In this episode of The Male Perspective, host Lana Reid sits down with author Dr. Ansley LaMar, Founder and Director of SuperKidz Kamp, to explore his decades-long commitment to youth development, leadership, and positive peer culture. Dr. LaMar shares how his own childhood experiences with summer camp helped shape the vision behind SuperKidz Kamp, a program rooted in the belief that all children are gifted and talented. He explains what sets the camp apart, from its outdoor, nature-based approach to the intentional ways campers learn cooperation, confidence, and accountability through community-centered experiences.

Throughout the conversation, Dr. LaMar also offers insight for parents and caregivers on how to stay engaged in their children’s growth beyond camp, what to look for when choosing a youth program, and why roles like camp counselor can be transformative for college students. This thoughtful discussion highlights the lasting impact of youth mentorship, experiential learning, and creating environments where young people are encouraged to thrive.

In this episode of The Male Perspective, host Lana Reid sits down with author Jaret Lloyd for an honest conversation about Black men, anxiety, vulnerability, and healing. Jaret is the author of Thoughts of an Anxious Black Man, a reflective work that explores what it means to carry emotional weight while navigating manhood in a world that often expects Black men to remain silent.

During the conversation, Jaret shares how anxiety showed up in his own life, the moments he realized he could no longer push it aside, and how writing this book changed the way he shows up for himself and other Black men. He also reflects on the unspoken pressures Black men carry, the difficulty of asking for help even within supportive spaces, and the importance of creating environments on campuses, in brotherhoods, and in communities where vulnerability and healing are possible.
