His brother was killed by a man nobody stepped in to de escalate with. That's the conversation that built everything Seth does today.
Seth is the founder of Socially Tangible Conversations, a movement out of Richmond, Virginia built around having the tough conversations Black families and Black men keep avoiding. In this episode we go deep on what's actually broken in how Black men show up for each other, why so many of us were raised by women without a positive male example in the house, and why emotional intelligence has to be rebuilt on purpose, not by accident.
We talk about his brother's death, the silence that led to it, raising his nephew as a male role model in a home without his father present, and why he believes community, generational wealth, and real conversation are the actual solutions, not another hashtag or a march that never reaches the neighborhoods that need it most.
What you'll take away from this episode:
Why de escalation between Black men has to start before the moment things go wrong
How silence in families becomes generational damage if nobody addresses it
Why building with your own community matters more than chasing followers or money

His brother was killed by someone nobody stepped in to de-escalate with. That moment is the reason Seth built Socially Tangible Conversations.
Seth is a Richmond, Virginia community organizer and the founder of Socially Tangible Conversations, a movement focused on having the tough conversations Black families and Black men keep avoiding. He grew up in a household raised mostly by women, lost his brother to violence that silence allowed to escalate, and has since dedicated himself to community engagement, youth mentorship, and rebuilding emotional intelligence in Black men from the ground up.
In this episode you'll walk away with three things: why de-escalation has to happen long before things turn violent, how silence in families compounds into generational damage if nobody addresses it, and why building wealth and trust inside your own community matters more than chasing followers or status outside of it.
