I have been talking about my son on this podcast since the very first episode. Today — he is finally here.

This is the first episode of our Mother and Son series, and I have to be honest with you: I was not ready for what he said. We talked about what it is like to be an only child, what he understands about mental health, what it feels like to be a young Black boy in this world right now — and what he wants people to know about him before they make up their minds about who he is.

And then I said something to him on camera that I have never said out loud quite like that before. You are going to want to see it.

In this episode:
→ The real pros and cons of being an only child — from him, not me
→ What he thinks mental health means and what he would do if a friend was struggling
→ What it feels like to be a young Black boy right now
→ A mother's word — spoken directly to him, on camera

This week's affirmation: "My story — including the parts I'm still writing — has the power to shape the generation behind me. I will not stay silent."

Scripture: Proverbs 22:6

Journal prompt: What is one thing you want the young people in your life to see in how you live — not just what you tell them, but how you actually show up?
