I Grew Up Privileged In East Orange, NJ, but It Had Nothing to Do With Money

Privilege is usually measured by money, but some of its most valuable forms cannot be purchased. In this episode of Lessons for Young Brothers, Jr. “The Bald Head” reflects on growing up with a strong father, supportive family, disciplined coaches, honest correction, and committed mentors. These influences gave me advantages I didn’t fully recognize at the time and taught me the importance of resilience, accountability, and strong male guidance. Sometimes the greatest privilege is having people who love you enough to protect you, correct you, and show you how to recover when life knocks you down.
