BMVT: Venting With Omari Burkley-Huggins ✌🏽

Good Morning Nashville ☀️

We decided to take a month off to access where we were, evaluate where we are, and plan ahead for where God wants us to go with this platform. This break was necessary, as it has helped us rest, rejuvenate, and be ready for the next stretch of continuous weekly episodes. So, with that being said …

WELCOME BACK TO THE FIRST & ONLY BLACK FATHER AND SON PODCAST IN THE STATE OF TENNESSEE! ⭐️

Let’s get into today’s episode!

We’re coming back strong with a historical episode on today. Presenting to some and introducing to others, the now YOUNGEST GUEST EVER ON BMVT, Mr. Omari Burkley-Huggins ✌🏽

Today is his birthday! 🎈 and what better time to put the episode on air than the day God brought him into this world 11 years ago. Omari is a proud 5th grade student at Ruby Major Elementary School where he truly has presented himself as a leader in the hallways and amongst his peers. He comes on the show today to vent about mental health from his lens of life, and we discuss how he advocates for mental health in his own way.

Omari, appointed by his guidance counselor, has the important role of being a “Junior Mental Health Counselor” at Ruby Major Elementary School.

“I have the courage to help people deal with all their problems,” he says.

Omari takes pride in being a shoulder to lean on for his peers at school, and has taken on a huge responsibility that not too many 11 year olds are doing in the world today. Mr. Burkley-Huggins, however, has experienced a lot of grief in his short time on earth. His beloved grandmother, Lekesia Willis 🕊️, was a huge inspiration to him. He vented with us about his feelings behind her transcendence, but highlighted how he used to always enjoy getting a Thortons gas station slushy with her after school. We get into so much more with this young man in today’s podcast. Nashville, take some time to listen to a black man vent today.
