Black Men Matter Series: Transforming Fathers and Families Through Man 2 Man | Dr. Stewart Perrilliat

In this episode of The Male Perspective, host Lana Reid sits down with Dr. Stewart Perrilliat, Founder and Executive Director of Man 2 Man Urban Youth Advocate. A Marine Corps Sergeant turned nonprofit leader, ordained clergy member, and father of four, Dr. Perrilliat shares how his journey from military discipline and entrepreneurship to ministry and community advocacy led him to create an organization dedicated to empowering fathers and strengthening families. Serving communities across the San Francisco Bay Area and inside San Quentin State Prison, Man 2 Man works to break cycles of poverty, incarceration, and emotional disconnection by equipping men with the tools to reclaim responsibility, dignity, and purpose.During the conversation, Dr. Perrilliat explains how Man 2 Man’s programs support fathers through emotional intelligence training, conflict resolution, co-parenting education, and reentry advocacy, including the Last Time In initiative, which has maintained a zero recidivism rate since 2020. He also discusses the societal impact of father absence, barriers within custody and child support systems, and how men can learn to become effective fathers even without strong role models. Dr. Perrilliat shares insights from his book, The Manbook: A Journey Into Manhood, Healing and Strength, which emphasizes that men grow in community and highlights healing, accountability, emotional growth, and reconciliation. 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗿.
