Ep. 155: The Self-Love Black Men Were Never Taught with Marquis

In XYBM 155, we sit down with Marquis Hill (Real MJ Hill), a 20-year-old motivational speaker, author, and youth mental health advocate. He explains the disruptive behavior of youth as a deep need for validation and a cry to simply be heard, often rooted in his own early struggles with comparison, the pain of losing a close mentor to suicide, and the profound identity shift he experienced after a sudden heart diagnosis ended his basketball dreams.

This is a must-watch for parents, millennials, and anyone who wants to truly connect with young people and create spaces where they feel safe enough to open up. Tune in on all podcast streaming platforms, including YouTube.
