Manned Up Conversations
Manned Up Conversations is a dynamic platform committed to fostering open, honest, and transformative discussions among men from all walks of life. Our mission is to challenge outdated notions of masculinity and provide a safe space where men can freely explore their emotions, experiences, and struggles without fear of judgment.
Through insightful content and interactive dialogue, Manned Up Conversations encourages personal growth, emotional intelligence, and meaningful change in the lives of men across Africa and beyond.
We envision a world where men break free from societal expectations, embracing vulnerability and emotional well-being as strengths rather than weaknesses. By promoting open conversations and a culture of mutual support, we empower men to lead more authentic, fulfilling lives—positively impacting their communities, relationships, and future generations.

The Bond Between Black Fathers and Daughters with David Miller
In episode 52, we connect with David Miller to explore his work on the relationship between black fathers and daughters. Some of the key talking points in this conversation include the marginalization of black fathers, creating opportunities and space for bonding through various activities for fathers to get to know their daughters likes and dislikes, the impact of absent fathers on girls and women, having courageous and age appropriate conversations around topics like sex, education, dating and media literacy and managing emotions and dealing with conflict.
Baltimore native David C. Miller uses his academic training and innate street skills to lead healing circles with men and boys, focusing on decision-making, impulse control, mental health awareness, and managing anger. Miller's work with Black men and boys has appeared in the BBC Magazine (Canada) and on CNN, MSNBC, Huffington Post, USA Today, PBS, Baltimore Sun, Washington Post, Washington Parent Magazine, Afro-American Newspaper, and other media outlets.
Miller is also the author and architect of Dare To Be King: What If the Prince Lives? a unique curriculum designed to engage young males of color around three domains: anger, decision-making, and impulse control.
Miller completed his Ph.D. in the School of Social Work at Morgan State University. Miller’s dissertation research focused on the emotional connections between Black fathers and daughters.
