Yoruba Proverb: "Ẹnu àá fi sọ̀rọ̀ ni ojú bá ti rí."

Translation: "If the eye sees it, the mouth will say it."


Racism is real, prejudice exists – but victimhood is not power. In Episode 17 of For My Sons, Papa O speaks directly to Black men about confronting racism without letting it define you.


We explore:

✅ The difference between acknowledging racism and living in victimhood

✅ How to respond to both overt and subtle racism with strength and wisdom

✅ Why legacy, not outrage, is the true measure of power

✅ Practical ways to raise sons who are prepared to face injustice with dignity


🎧 Listen now to learn how to protect your peace, maintain agency, and become undeniable through excellence and legacy.
