In this episode of The Male Perspective, host Lana Reid sits down with author Jaret Lloyd for an honest conversation about Black men, anxiety, vulnerability, and healing. Jaret is the author of Thoughts of an Anxious Black Man, a reflective work that explores what it means to carry emotional weight while navigating manhood in a world that often expects Black men to remain silent.

During the conversation, Jaret shares how anxiety showed up in his own life, the moments he realized he could no longer push it aside, and how writing this book changed the way he shows up for himself and other Black men. He also reflects on the unspoken pressures Black men carry, the difficulty of asking for help even within supportive spaces, and the importance of creating environments on campuses, in brotherhoods, and in communities where vulnerability and healing are possible.

In this episode of The Male Perspective, Lana Reid sits down with Sacher Dawson - Executive Director and Board President of HOPE Farm. Dawson discusses the early motivations behind HOPE Farm, which was co-founded by law enforcement professionals, and shares the remarkable story of their first facility, a former crackhouse transformed into a center of hope and mentorship. He also explains how HOPE Farm has expanded to three locations, the structure of its daily mentorship model, and the expectations placed on both the boys and their parents when they enter the program. Highlighted programs include the Leadership Development Program, the Mothers’ Resource Program (MRP), and the Slone Vocational Center (SVC).

Dawson reflects on the transformative results HOPE Farm has achieved by nurturing boys from single-parent homes from early childhood through high school, and how many former attendees now return as mentors themselves. He discusses the organization’s intentional pathways toward college, military service, or trade school, and shares insights into how HOPE Farm contributes to breaking the cycle of fatherlessness for current and future generations.

In this episode of "The Male Perspective," Lana talks with Dr. Lathardus Goggins II - Educational Consultant, Scholar, Advocate, and Author. He shares insights on the challenges and opportunities facing Black students in today’s K-12 system. From addressing the impact of cultural disconnects in classrooms often dominated by educators who do not look like Black students or share their lived experiences to unpacking the myth of “colorblind” teaching, Dr. Goggins emphasizes the importance of social emotional learning, community engagement, and rites of passage programs in shaping student success. He explores how schools, families, and communities can work together to ensure the next generation of Black students thrive and reach their full potential.

In the school years of 1910-11, a small group of Black students attended Indiana University.

Most of them were working their way through school. The number of places where they might assemble was limited. Realizing that they had no part in the social life of the university and drawn together by common interests, they decided that a Greek-letter fraternity would do much to fill the missing link in their college existence…

“Kappa Alpha Psi ®, a college fraternity dedicated to the principles of achievement, was born in an environment saturated in racism. The state of Indiana became the 19th state of the Union in 1816 and it founded Indiana University in Bloomington four years later...

In the school years of 1910-11, a small group of Black students attended Indiana University.

Most of them were working their way through school. The number of places where they might assemble was limited. Realizing that they had no part in the social life of the university and drawn together by common interests, they decided that a Greek-letter fraternity would do much to fill the missing link in their college existence…

“Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. is the first international fraternal organization founded on the campus of a historically black college.

On the evening of November 17, 1911, Omega Psi Phi was founded inside the Science Building (later renamed Thirkield Hall) at Howard University located in Washington, D.C. The founders were three undergraduates — Edgar Amos Love, Oscar James Cooper and Frank Coleman. Joining them was their faculty adviser, Ernest Everett Just.

From the initials of the Greek phrase meaning, “friendship is essential to the soul“, the name Omega Psi Phi was derived. That phrase was selected as the motto.

Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance and Uplift were adopted as Cardinal Principles.” (https://oppf.org)

"The Male Perspective" is hosted by Lana Reid, the founder of Conversations in Color, a nonprofit 501(c)3 grassroots organization dedicated to providing uplifting and community building spaces of dialogue for Black voices.

In this episode of "The Male Perspective," Lana Reid returns to Eta Nu Nu, one of the newer chapters of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., based in Columbus, OH, to check in after over a year! Joining her are the chapter's current Basileus, Bro. Matthew Coleman, along with Bro. Dr. Judson Jeffries and Bro. Leon Peacock.

The chapter has made a significant impact in the community, highlighted by an impressive rise in scholarships from $500 to an incredible $515,625.11. Their "Man P.L.E.A.S.E., Check Yourself" event has been pivotal in raising awareness about prostate cancer and their newly formed Omega Book Club delves into scholarship, fraternity history, and vital issues facing the Black community. In 2025, they also distributed over 2,500 STEAM books to Columbus Public Schools students and offered invaluable mentorship through their Chess for Success program. This is just a glimpse of the extensive community outreach efforts by Eta Nu Nu, which have earned the chapter numerous awards in under five years.

“Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. is the first international fraternal organization founded on the campus of a historically black college.

On the evening of November 17, 1911, Omega Psi Phi was founded inside the Science Building (later renamed Thirkield Hall) at Howard University located in Washington, D.C. The founders were three undergraduates — Edgar Amos Love, Oscar James Cooper and Frank Coleman. Joining them was their faculty adviser, Ernest Everett Just.

From the initials of the Greek phrase meaning, “friendship is essential to the soul“, the name Omega Psi Phi was derived. That phrase was selected as the motto.

Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance and Uplift were adopted as Cardinal Principles.” (https://oppf.org)

"The Male Perspective" is hosted by Lana Reid, the founder of Conversations in Color, a nonprofit 501(c)3 grassroots organization dedicated to providing uplifting and community building spaces of dialogue for Black voices.

In this episode of The Male Perspective, guest Dr. Eddie Wright, Founder and Executive Director of The We Can Win Foundation, Inc., shares the story behind the life-changing call he received from his doctor in 2012 and the medical journey that followed. He discusses why prostate cancer disproportionately impacts Black men, who face a 70% higher incidence rate and are more than twice as likely to die from the disease compared to white men, and breaks down the cultural, historical, and systemic factors that contribute to this gap, including persistent hesitation around screenings.

Dr. Wright also explains how newer, less-invasive screening options (such as MRIs, PET scans, and liquid biopsies) can ease fear and support earlier detection, offers practical guidance on when to begin screening and what tests to request, and shares details about his upcoming “Together We Win – Health and Wellness Fair” in 2026.
