About this episode

Welcome back to the village! In Episode 9 of Two Black Dads, Tyson and Keath are honored to sit down with Tyson’s good friend, Dr. Themba Makapela, for a true masterclass in legacy, love, and life. With over 30 years of experience as an educator, a recently earned Ph.D., and a deeply rooted marriage, Dr. Makapela brings a wealth of hard-earned wisdom to the table. Having successfully raised two adult sons, he recently stepped into a brand-new, beautiful chapter: becoming a grandfather for the very first time. As his youngest son welcomes a baby boy, Dr. Makapela reflects on what it means to watch the fatherhood journey come full circle. The guys soak in the hindsight, lessons, and grace that only decades of dedicated parenting and partnership can provide.
