About this episode
Dear Son, save your community. In this episode of The Dear Son, Podcast, we take a journey with community advocate, Tracey Parker, as he reveals the why behind his mission. He chronicles his life’s challenges and triumphs. The Newport News (VA) native learned the importance of ‘the village’ concept very early as he depended on friends and extended family members to fill the void of his biological parents not being in his life consistently. Tracey excelled in sports during his adolescent years, and found a father-figure in a high school coach. His life has been a roller coaster of highs and lows, but he found purpose when he met his Queen (Joy) who showed him unconditional love and ultimately challenged him to be a better man. Today, Tracey’s mission is to save everyone, literally. Lofty? Perhaps. His innate desire to help so many is reflective of the pain he experienced throughout his life. He simply doesn’t want others to experience it. There’s so much more to glean from this conversation, and I sincerely hope that you give it the attention due.
