In this week\\u2019s episode, our \\u201cBlack Light\\u201d segment returns for another powerful conversation. We are joined by motivational speaker and author of \\u201cThe Sun Is Always Shining: A Story of Adversity Turned To Triumph,\\u201d DeAntwann Johnson. He discusses his childhood experiences as a product of the foster care system, and how those experiences helped him fulfill his life\\u2019s purpose by bridging the communication gap between children and their parents. We also tackle why spanking and corporal punishment are prevalent tools in the Black community. We ask: where does it stem from, is it really needed, and what are the costs of spanking our children as part of child rearing? All this and how \\u201cgentle parenting\\u201d and communication can help build more purpose driven children. You don\\u2019t want to miss this.
