  • Summary

  • Building on the idea of being in positive fellowship and relationship with one that you trust with your private thoughts, fears, and concerns, “What Up Cuz” was the creation of Dr. Alan Brock, D.Min, and Dr. Sharon McDaniel, Ph.D., EdD, MPA, as a way to intentionally share “out loud“ our innermost thoughts and ideas on America’s most protracted issues challenging our African American communities. Centering the podcast on our faith, wisdom, experiential learning, and academic scholarship, we will tackle community challenges/opportunities and provide meaningful solutions in a manner that is clearly understood, viable, and implementable. We look forward to sharing and growing together as an African American community one community at a time.
