With a proven ability to inspire and connect with people, his relatable approach to communicating serves him well in his pursuit to help people live their best lives.  He is here to share his personal experiences as a Black man. Last week we had a conversation with Kait's dear friend Tiffany McLeain, discussing her experience dating as a Black woman.. We love Tiff so much for her willingness to share. Her vulnerability was just so beautiful and generous. And with that, we also want to say, we know her story is only one part of the pie, and doesn't represent the extent of everyone’s situation or experience. Going into this week's interview with DeAngelo Moss, talking about dating as a Black man, we recognize both conversations are only just the beginning. We are just getting into the tip of the conversation. With that we welcome your feedback, thoughts, suggestions, all of it, as we continue to engage in this conversation as a ministry!
