Understand
Seeing the pain and trauma on both sides of a weapon
I was the first responder to a young man getting shot down in the streets of Chicago. I was 20 feet away from walking into a bullet. This piece was written from the perspective of how I would have wanted my story told if I could not tell it today.
Learned
How the conditioning I learned impacted the woman I loved
“The talk” about sexing and women came from my father saying something along the lines of “wrap it up son”, end of discussion. So many young men learn about sex and relationship from social conditioning, porn, and media. Not all this input is “bad”, but we may have to reflect on what we learned and carry and if it brings us to the love we want.
COMING UP FROM JORDAN…
A spoken word album & Instillation for men’s journeys
Jordan “Dxtr” Holmes and his mentor, the late great Dr. Nikki Giovanni, in one of her last recorded works collaborated for a provocative, heartfelt, and moving spoken word album. The album follows the journey of Dxtr finding how to navigate life, recognizing his need for a life-raft in the pool of the pressures of life supported by the loving guidance of Nikki.
