I amla. I had a baby daddy relationship. I spent time in a relationship with a married man. I had to learn the skills and tools required to make my relationships healthy, fulfilling, and loving.

Welcome to the R-Spot, a production of Shandaland Audio in partnership with I Heart Radio. Grand Rising, great day wherever you are and welcome to the

place we come to talk about relationships, all types of relationships,

but particularly the relationship that we are having with our self,

which influences and impacts the relationships

that we have with all other people and I am excited.

I'm telling you I am excited about our conversation today dealing with men and their relationship

with themselves as it is presented by my guest today. I've got guests today as it is

presented by my guest in the book The Invisible Aik. Black men identifying their pain and reclaiming their power, presented to the

world by Courtney B. Vance and Dr. Robin L. Smith.

You know these people, you know them, I know them, I love them.

Courtney B Vance, we know from his work and stage and screen.

I know him as DA Carver from the Law and Order because you know I am a

Law and Order fan I think I've seen every episode 86 times but we know him

and we love him the beloved husband of Angela Bassett who has

shared his heart and his soul with the intention of supporting men and identifying their pain and reclaiming their power.

He is joined in that effort by Dr Robin L. Smith, renowned psychologist.

We've seen her everywhere.

She shares from her heart

and she is committed to the health and the healing

of people of color, but of all people.

Dr Robin, we call her because we love her.
