I like myself: Black excellence and World travel

from More than a handshake · host Sheena Knight

This week, Sheena sits down with Malcolm Archibald, who describes himself as grounded in legacy while aiming to create more love and happiness. He discusses navigating cultural noise, defining manhood as intentional pursuit paired with character, and adopting a growth mindset focused on getting 1% better every day. Malcolm shares childhood anger and reframes happiness as a decision. He explains resilience as built through repeated risk-taking and major life moves, and recounts being drugged in college as a pivotal moment that shifted him away from self-centeredness. He details his journey healing self-hatred tied to Black identity through mentors and Black Men’s safe spaces. He credits restaurant bartending for access to transformative networks, and explains how travel fuels self-discovery. Malcolm shares his Instagram and his community dinner series, Dinner And Discourse.
