In this first-part of two series the conversation is with Kevin Wright an individual who defies the odds in every sense of the term. Kevin is a man with many titles including author, writer, poet, entrepreneur and more. This brother and I share a lot in common and that’s a part of the reason I love and respect him.

I asked my sister Riva Carpenter to join me here to discuss the topic of gender roles and stereotypes. In this episode we discuss the influence of gender roles constructed by social norms and the impact it continues to have on individuals and the family nucleus. Enjoy a conversation among friends.

In this episode I will be spending time to speak with my fellas, about some topics that come up in conversations when we're chilling. I also express some concerns in the way some of us communicate with others and how we can improve by focusing on the self. 

I had the honour of speaking with Shelly Tavares someone I hold dear and that I’ve known for a lifetime. She is  an inspiration a go getter and extremely self-driven. A characteristic of hers that I admire is how she seamlessly adapts to any situation. Her journey is one that is special and courageous so I asked her to join me here to share her story with you all. She is a friend worth living for.
