Manage episode 450944896 series 3609864
In this engaging episode of Bruh Speak Up! Dr. Dametraus Jaggers is joined by Hip-hop educator, Dr. H. Bernard Hall to discuss his personal journey with Black identity, navigating different spaces, and the importance of finding one's voice.
Dr. Hall, a former teacher and assistant principal, shares the experiences that led him to pursue a PhD in urban education and his decision to center hip-hop in his teaching practices and research agenda. The son of a Black police officer and a white public-school teacher, Dr. Hall narratives his experiences growing up and the lessons he learned from his parents.
We also talk about our shared experiences of using our privilege to challenge stereotypes and the status quo. Finally, we reflect on our experiences with fatherhood and manhood, as we navigate a society deeply shaped by Eurocentric and patriarchal values.
