“The Male Perspective” hosted by Lana Reid: guest Marklyn Johnson
In this episode of “The Male Perspective,” Lana talks with Marklyn T. Johnson – Author, Speaker and Professional Comedian. In Mr. Johnson’s latest book, “I like Black People: The Good Ones!!!: An Observation from Experience,” he shares how the ingrained and reinforced aspects of racism that are deeply woven into the American landscape and passed down from generation to generation continue to weigh heavy on the Black community. Although often uncomfortable conversations, Marklyn imparts the need for understanding and self-reflection to understand personal biases and perpetrated microaggressions.
