Join Dr. Vibe for our first ‘What Kind of Man Do You Want to Be?'(#ManYouWantToBe) discussion for 2014!
This month we’re focusing on physical and sexual health of males.
Our guests: Celebrity Fitness Trainer Rahman Grayson- Mr. Shut Up and Train, President and CEO of AEIM and Andrew Smiler PhD, Therapist, Evaluator, Author, Speaker & Contributor to The Good Men Project.
Celebrity trainer and wellness activist Ray “Mr. Shut Up and Train” Grayson has trained A-list celebrities including singing sensations Usher and Ciara, NFL star Edgerrin James, lifestyle specialist/jet setter Kenny Burns, and entertainer Steve Harvey. With a substantial following, his most recent digital fitness challenge drew nearly 100,000 active participants worldwide.
His training and research highlight adolescence and early adulthood (or “emerging adulthood”), ages 12-25. Dr. Smiler’s research interests focus on normative aspects of sexual development, definitions of masculinity, and social identities such as “jock,” “player,” and “nerd.” He has taught undergraduates at Wake Forest University, the University at Oswego, the University of New Hampshire, Immaculata University, and LaSalle University.

In an engaging and personal talk — with cameo appearances from his grandmother and Rosa Parks — human rights lawyer Bryan Stevenson shares some hard truths about America’s justice system, starting with a massive imbalance along racial lines: a third of the country’s black male population has been incarcerated at some point in their lives. These issues, which are wrapped up in America’s unexamined history, are rarely talked about with this level of candor, insight and persuasiveness.
During a recent edition of The Sports Reporters, ESPN columnist and Numbers Never Lie co-host Jemele Hill said if she could select a “Sports Person of the Year” for 2013, she would nominate the “N-word.”
While Time magazine uses its “Person of the Year” award to recognize “impact,” Hill said, she wouldn’t use a “Sports Person of the Year” award to recognize impactful athletes like Serena Williams or Peyton Manning, who both won annual awards from prestigious publications.
“My ‘Sports Person of the Year’ wouldn’t be a person at all but a word that is both reviled and revered,” she explained. In 2013, she said, the “N-word” had taken center stage in the sports world, citing examples like Dolphins lineman Richie Incognito’s infamous use of it “affectionately with black teammates” or Eagles receiver Riley Cooper yelling it at a concert.
Hill added that after Redskins tackle Trent Williams allegedly hurled the “N-word” at an umpire, the Fritz Pollard Alliance asked the NFL to fine players for using the word off-field and eject them for on-field use.
“Eradicating the N-word won’t eliminate racism,” Hill concluded. but this year sports challenged our grip on the word. That’s impact.”
