EP70 American dreams, Open Relationship and Racial Stereotypes - Roc (Rahmaan Mwongozi)

Roc was planning a murder when he was young, he considers himself lucky that they did not have a gun in the household....the future had other plans for Roc. Roc is a systems analyst who has worked with Fortune 500 corporations such as Enron, AT&T and Pfizer as well as being the host of the ”Talking $*** Rahmaan Mwongozi” podcast. Roc’s problem-solving and “no excuses” mindset enabled him to avoid the trappings of his East Oakland neighborhood, where poverty, physical abuse of a step father, gangs, violence, and drugs took many down the rabbit hole of despair. Keeping his distance and planning his escape, Roc paid attention to where the power and resources lay and went after them. He has systematically avoided the trappings of the American dream, racial stereotyping as well as traditional ideas of romantic relationships. We discussed all things life, America, How important Bill Cosby was, polyamory, capitalism, abuse, murder plans and his book ”Inner Demons: Blazing A Path To Happiness” https://twitter.com/TheRocsWorld https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ2ul1RRbeCdrg825XmUOXg/featured https://www.amazon.com/Inner-Demons-Blazing-Path-Happiness-ebook/dp/B07GDPB9ZL
