The Gray Matters
Welcome to The Gray Matters, where we discuss more than just the hot topics and headlines of the day from a Black man’s perspective. We appreciate that we are not a monolith and every subject deserves to be explored with nuance giving a view from all sides of the culture. So, we’re here to hopefully bring that to you every week with a little bit of nuance, class, and fun. Our panel consist of 3 guys that are absolutely nothing alike and you’ll soon come to find out just how much we love each other in spite of our sometimes very big differences.
