Is chivalry actually dead or is it just on life support? Join Sharita, Connie, and Mr. Best for a raw and unfiltered conversation on the couch about the evolution of manners, parenting, and gender roles in the modern world.
In this episode, the team dives deep into the complex intersection of mental health and traditional values within the Black community. They explore whether the push for independence has unintentionally pushed men out of their roles as protectors and providers. From personal anecdotes about door-opening etiquette to analyzing classic media like Good Times and Boys in the Hood, this discussion covers the importance of male examples in the household.
The conversation also tackles the reality of gentle parenting, the impact of historical trauma on family dynamics, and why mental health is often viewed as a luxury rather than a necessity. Mr. Best shares a powerful perspective on why black boys are often raised with a different set of rules for survival, while Connie and Sharita question the weight of the crown that women have been forced to carry.
