More than one way to be a [Black] man.
Grab Your Y is a podcast and growing platform for honest conversations with Black men about who we are, not just what we do. We explore our relationships with ourselves, each other, and society.
We feel the whole spectrum of emotion, but a lot of us only got language for a few words: mad, stressed, tired, good. This episode is on emotional language, permission, and being in a relationship with yourself first.

I bring hope, love, and goodness to the world, taking from abundance and leaving abundance in my wake.Dr. G • Inspired by The Upanishads
