On this month’s edition of Dr. Vibe’s Allies, the discussion topic is: What stops black people from being successful, and what can they do to overcome this?
Here are the conversation pieces for tonight’s show:
What role does knowing our history play in our success or failure? Do we know our history? And if not, why don’t we know it?
What role does jealousy and competitiveness play in holding black people back?
What role does politics play in the success or failure of black people?
What role does the church play in the success and failure of black people?
Do black people have their economic priorities right?
What is the illusion of inclusion, and what role does it play in black success or failure?
What role does education play in the success or failure of black people?
Should black people need a leader to help us become more successful, or should we just work to become successful on our own?
Is racism the biggest barrier to black success—or is it something else?
What can black people do today to become more successful in life?

What do you need to tell your son during “The Talk” about police encounters?
As part of the #ManYouWantToBe conversation in the raising boys section of The Good Men Project, Join Marie Roker-Jones and Dr. Vibe will be having a conversation with Steve Silverman of Flex Your Rights and David Miller of Dare to Be King Project LLC about what parents need to talk to their sons about police encounters.
Steve Silverman is the founder and executive director of Flex Your Rights (Flex).
In his formative years, Silverman did back-to-back internships with the Cato Institute and Families Against Mandatory Minimums. There he became sensitized to the twin evils of overcriminalization and overincarceration in the United States.
Silverman then worked for the national campus effort to repeal a federal law cutting college financial aid to students with drug convictions. As part of this grassroots work, he discovered that the vast majority of people are mystified by the basic rules of police search and seizure and due process of law.
David Miller, M.Ed is the founder of the Dare To Be King Project (formerly known as the Urban Leadership Institute) a unique social entrepreneurial firm that specializes in developing male development initiatives.
Over the past 20 years, David has developed an international reputation for designing programs across the globe. He has focused on literacy, youth development, violence reduction and family strengthening in Africa, Canada & West Indies.
David is most known for his Dare To Be King Curriculum an innovative approach to teach life/survival skills to male adolescents ages 13-18. The curriculum uses a combination of kinesthetic activities, visual presentations and small group discussions. The curriculum engages young males around three domains: managing anger, decision-making & impulse control. In January of 2014 the new edition of the Dare To Be King Curriculum was released. The new model offers 52 weeks of programming which includes sessions on the death of Trayvon Martin, Oscar Grants encounter with the police and the HBO Series The Wire. The model is currently being used in schools, community centers and juvenile facilities across the U.S.
Finally, David Miller is a graduate of the University of Baltimore with a B.S. Political Science and Goucher College with a Master’s Degree in Education (specializing in conflict resolution).
