Episode 14: Motherhood

Just a few days after Mother’s Day, we had the distinct honor of bringing in a very special guest on the Dialectic Peoples podcast – my wonderful mother, Roxanne Lewis. It’s a beautiful, honest and personal conversation about how my own upbringing by my mother and her mother – two strong and loving women who worked very hard to raise me, take care of me, and turn me into the man I am today. We talked about the trials of raising a child as a single mother, keeping family close despite great physical distance and spiritual differences. As you’ll hear, Roxanne is diligent, kind, forgiving and wise woman.

Mom, thank you for joining us on this episode, but more importanly, thank everything you’ve done for me. You are an amazing mother and grandmother. We love you always.


I would like to dedicate this episode to the memory of my maternal grandmother, Marilyn Lewis, raised both my mother and me as a single mom. She was an unbelievably patient, generous, compassionate and faithful woman.

I would also like to dedicate this episode to the memory of my paternal grandfather, Alfred Middleton, who was the hero I needed him to be when I needed him most.

Dialectic Peoples Presents: Fatherhood, Part 1

In our 12th episode, Kuku and Brandon have a discussion about one of the most important aspects of each of their lives – fatherhood. In the discussion, we attempt to define the role of a father as it evolves over a lifetime, and what we hope to achieve for our families. In our talk, there is a great deal of introspection and reflection on each of our experiences with our own fathers, as well as how those experiences shape the way we approach being fathers to our own children.

This is the first episode in an unlimited series on fatherhood, and we will be revisiting the topic many more times in the near future.
