In this explosive and deeply human episode, Kimberly Latrice Jones breaks down one of the most urgent crises facing Black America: the collapse of structure, accountability, emotional intelligence, and real support for our boys and young adults. Jones goes beyond headlines and politics to expose the developmental science behind teen decision-making, the dangers of treating 14-year-olds like adults, and the generational trauma shaping today’s youth. She also reveals powerful, practical strategies — from voter engagement events to mentorship models — that actually work to pull young people back from the edge. The conversation explores community correction, righteous anger, family structure, accountability culture, emotional intelligence, and the essential role of fathers and uncles in shaping young men. This is not a rant. It’s a blueprint — for parents, educators, community leaders, and anyone who wants to help save a generation.
