Old to me; new to you. Today, I revisit a conversation I had with my friend Brianne. She is a talented artist and designer with high hopes of making it in a social media-dominated world. We talk about TikTok, NFTS, and what it takes for the algorithm to pick you up and make you a star. Thank you, Mercedes, for the conversation. Thank you for listening and supporting the show.

This week, I explore some of my favorite reading from my favorite book, The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran. I first encountered this book around the age of 18 and it has been coloring my life ever since. It's a wonderful book and I encourage you to pick up a copy for yourself. I may even do a bookclub on Patreon. Thank you again for listening. Everything I read belongs to Kahlil Gibran and his estate or whomever his works belong to. I should really get a lawyer to help me with licensing. Haha.

This week, I deep dive into a Disney classic called Mary Poppins. I go over the relationship that a father, bound by what he perceives are his paternal duties, can have with his children. Especially, when he is released from those perceptions. Disney owns the rights to the clips I played in the show. Thank you for listening, sharing, and supporting this show. Much love to you. Find me all over social media as Just A Black DadCast and if you'd like to support the show, you can go to Patreon.com/justablackdadcast. Thanks to my new supporters. Once again, I do NOT own the rights to the clips played. All right belong to Disney and Papa Mickey.

Content warning: I reference my mental state and my suicide attempts. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline’s number is 1-800-273-8255. Reach out if you or anyone you know needs help.
