Good Brothers - Moving Two (Not Electric Boogaloo)

This week on the Good Brothers we talk about moving through the lens of the places we have called home in our youth. Inspired by current experience moving to a new home in the midst of global pandemic I wanted to wade into the waters of how your living experience impacts how you see the world. We share a little bit of the road and try not to meander too far from it. Please take the best part for yourself.

Ask Your Oldhead is a creative project exploring modern manhood at the intersection of race, gender, culture, and class. We are specifically interested in capturing the stories of transition from child to young man to healthy adult. Please listen, rate, share, and subscribe. Peace

Show Notes: Brotherhood

Brotherhood is an important topic for me. This is an opening foray into this topic. It will return in many forms in the future. This meditation is about brotherhood and its importance in what standards we set for ourselves. In my experience me will rise or fall to the collective standard of the men they spend the most time with. They will calibrate their behavior to fit the norms of that group. Due to this it is very important to develop a great cohort of men especially as you move from adolescent to young adult. The value does not end there, but it is the time frame I had in mind when I was crafting this piece. Enjoy.

Peace
