Hi everyone I'm Brine Brown and this is unlocking us.

I'm so excited about this episode.

I am talking with Emmanuel Acho, who is the host and producer of Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man.

It's a web series about racism.

It's just basically a human conversation that is open and uncomfortable and urgent and necessary.

He has released an incredible book with the same name,

uncomfortable conversations with a black man.

This book is a manifesto, a mandate, a playbook,

it's generous, it's full of love,

it's got incredible stories in it he takes on just random

questions from white folks I mean just any question that he hears over and over he

takes it on he gives us a historical understanding of the question, the answer. He asks us to get

uncomfortable with him as he delves into what it means for culture today and he invites us to walk the talk about our beliefs.

It really is just smart, important, and real answers for real questions.

I don't know if you know this about Emmanuel Acho, but he is also a Fox Sports analyst

and former NFL player and former

long horn from the University of Texas.

So you will hear all about his incredible book,

Uncomfortable Conversations with a black man.

We'll dig into that and I might even sneak in a question about the 20-21-22 UT football season. What a powerful learning, unlearning, and relearning episode.

I'm glad you're here with us today. Thank you.
