Modern Men, Missing Mentors & the Cost of Growing Up Without Guidance

In this episode, I sit down with Chennille Turner for an honest and necessary conversation about growing up, relationships, and the lack of guidance shaping so many lives today.We talk about modern men and how the absence of mentorship and direction affects identity, purpose, and accountability. We unpack the way single mothers are often disrespected online, how social media has reshaped dating and expectations, and the real differences in relationship timelines between Black and white communities — especially when it comes to access, stability, and generational foundations.Chennille also reflects on what she would tell her younger self now, with the clarity that only time, experience, and growth can bring.This episode isn’t about blame — it’s about understanding, healing, and having the conversations people avoid but desperately need.Hosted by T.
