Here I discuss with you the way they see us as just entertainers.

Love and Struggles for the Black Man

"Before we begin this journey, we have to acknowledge where we are. For generations, the narrative of the Black man has been written by pens that didn't belong to us. We’ve been framed by our struggles, defined by our trauma, and often, muted by a world that preferred our silence over our truth.
But history is not just something that happened to us; it is something we carry. And for too long, that weight has been carried in isolation. We realized that there was a void—a need for a space where we don't have to wear the mask. A space where 'strength' isn't measured by how much pain you can suppress, but by how much truth you can tell."

"That is why I created Black Men Roar.
This isn’t just a podcast or a series of interviews. This is a multimedia sanctuary. It is a collective reclamation of our identity. When we say 'Roar,' we aren't talking about noise. We are talking about the sound of a man finding his voice after a lifetime of whispering.
In this series, we explore the full spectrum of Black manhood. We dive into the deep waters of mental health, the complexities of fatherhood, the weight of systemic history, and the pure, unadulterated joy of our brotherhood. We are here to bridge the gap between the elders who paved the way and the young kings who are wondering which way to go."

"So, what can you expect? You can expect honesty that might be uncomfortable. You can expect vulnerability that will feel like healing. And most importantly, you can expect to see yourself reflected in a light that is both human and divine.
Whether you are here to learn, to heal, or simply to listen, know that you are entering a 'brave space.' We ask that you listen with an open heart. We aren't just looking for answers; we are looking for each other."

"The era of being misunderstood is over. The era of the Roar has begun.
I’m Mike Smith, and on behalf of the entire Black Men Roar collective, I welcome you to our story. It’s time to listen. It’s time to evolve. It’s time to roar.”
