James Harris was supposed to be just another statistic in the foster care system. At the age of sixteen, he decided the best plan for his future was to emancipate himself and take control of his life so he could be the support system for his siblings who he was separated from when they entered the Virginia foster care system. Today, Tedx speaker, husband, and father James Harris goes Man to Man with David to discuss how he took the necessary steps to heal his child hood trauma by educating himself about mental health. He discusses how this played a huge part in how he created his program, Men to Heal, that helps other black men to be vulnerable so they can have autonomy over their feelings.

Knowledge, plain and simple, is POWER! Being informed about today’s society is essential, and can be the difference between thriving or just getting by. James Nicholas Kinney is one who chose to survive, learn and thrive when the universe gave him a choice that he couldn't say no too. Now, he's here to go Man to Man with David to discuss how he pulled himself out of a very deep depression and battled his agoraphobia after almost losing his life. Listen as America’s Mental Health Motivator speaks on how you can change your life just by reading, meditating and so much more.

What do you do when you lose it all? When you think you know your life plan, and then suddenly that changes? Dominic Lawson knows all about change and loss. He wouldn't tell you that there is some magical cure all on the other side. What you would learn from him, is that he is a man of service, a man who loves his community, and a champion of mental health who is STILL on his own journey. Through storytelling, he is finding his own healing AND success. In going Man to Man with David, Dominic shares about growing up in the Lamar Terrace projects in Memphis, Tennessee, his time in the Army, and being an Angel parent, but they also share what it means to find the joy in the margins.
