"Men, Commitment, and Vulnerability: A Candid Conversation" David discusses his journey to committing to marriage after 9 years with his wife. He didn't have married parents as an example growing up. Stereotypes say black men fear commitment or commit to the wrong person due to lack of community role models. Early in their relationship, David and his wife struggled and had to daily recommit through communication and understanding. Society pressures relationships into strict roles while music glorifies players over commitment. True commitment requires courage, vulnerability and trusting your partner despite risk of hurt. This is difficult for many due to past traumas and lack of examples. David gains a partner, family and accountability that make him a better man from marriage. A key stereotype is that black men don't have emotions or talk about feelings, but repressing them takes a toll. David wants to dispel this through his social work non-profit serving at-risk youth.
