The Parenting 411 Episode 9: Raising Black Boys: Lessons From A Wayward Journey

For this episode, I sat down with Kevin Shird, Speaker, National Youth Advocate, and Author.   I asked him to recount his journey to redemption where his quest to escape the perils of poverty and his father's addiction led to drug dealing and violence on the mean streets of Baltimore.  There was no question he was unwilling to answer and he owned his mistakes as he offered sobering lessons for young boys today and the parents who are raising them. Callers also chimed in with astute observations.
