What’s it really like being a Black man in uniform? The truth is… it’s complicated.
In this episode, we open up about our personal experiences navigating race, leadership, and respect throughout our military careers. From silent expectations to loud realities, we share how being Black shaped how we were seen by our peers, subordinates, and leadership — and how it shaped how we saw ourselves.
We discuss:
•The pressure to represent and prove ourselves
•Navigating code-switching and cultural tension
•Moments where we had to choose between authenticity and opportunity
•And what real respect looks like beyond salutes and titles
This isn’t just about military service — it’s about identity, leadership, and the hard truths that don’t make it into the official history books.
