During the conversation, LeRon talked about: – Why he wrote the article – The lack of attention about this subject – Why it is normal for a Black boy to have sex at a young age? Why is not a concern? – The assumption that Black men and boys cannot be raped – Black boys can never be innocent and often are viewed as a predator – The response to the article – The effect that this has on Black boys and men's emotions – The importance of therapy for Black men You can find out more about LeRon via: Website Twitter Facebook Instagram Visit The Dr. Vibe Show™ at https://www.thedrvibeshow.com/ Please feel free to email The Dr. Vibe Show™ at [email protected] Please feel free to "Like" the "The Dr. Vibe Show" Facebook fan page here God bless, peace, be well and keep the faith, Dr. Vibe
