There is so much passion in the world these days. It doesn’t take long to find it. Take a look at the news or on social media. You’ll find a lot of voices shouting over each other, screaming to be heard.
My question though is this… If everyone is shouting, then who’s listening?
Few voices have been able to bubble past the clutter and find the resonance to stand the test of time. They’re voices that echo through history, imparting knowledge on generations to come.
You may have heard this before:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
When was the last time you read the whole statement?
The meaning of these words hold so much weight to so many people. They’ve also been the swords of justice for revered men like Fredrick Douglas, John Lewis, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, and many others.
These men were willing to be unpopular in a hostile world. They were willing to swim against the current and go against the masses to fight for an injustice they were observing in their lives.
This episode is about learning from these men and empowering you to find your cause and your voice to speak to it.
Join us as Jonathan Parker and I sit down with the extremely talented and intelligent Jeremiah Dew(JDew). His Show, “One Voice: A Black History Narrative” has been performed in front of over 50,000 people across the country and continues to grow. It’s a performance and an experience you won’t soon forget.
In this episode we reflect on the men before us who set the example of what it means to be a man of justice and passion. Whatever your cause may be, it’s important for you to find your voice.
We want to thank Kenworth Reeves, owner of 13 Stripes Brewery for hosting us for this one. This episode would not be possible without the talented eye of Elias Jose Falero of Falero Studios and the continued commitment of Andrej Suttles of Suttlesolution Media.
Fellas, please enjoy this episode of The Modern Man!
