Reach - Then Teach
"Reach - Then Teach" offers host Derrick Brown's wisdom earned through life lessons learned about mentoring, mediation, and problem solving. The show uses "standup storytelling" (commentary, teaching, spoken word (poetry), rap, and song) to deliver compelling, thematic, personal narratives about love, change, equality, power, (self-)control, and purpose. Popular segments include "Dear Hannah (Letters To My Daughter)", "Fight The Good Fight", "LEarning", and "The BIG Picture." Visit reachthenteach.com to join our mailing list and sponsor our work!

Dear Hannah,
my joy comes from
understanding why i was born
and what i need
to do before i die
and that even when
things are shaky
and folk are real "fakey"
i know who my
folk are
listen ...

Dear Hannah,
I love your mother (Keisha).
For our 10th anniversary, I told the world.
Love,

Dear Hannah,
we can both reach
the finish line
by helping each other
train and pace
to run our own race
but to run it right
we need to both pack light
to push some major freight
and pull our own weight
so hang in there when it
doesn't go your way
hang in there when you have
to say "bye bye" sometimes
to people, places, habits,
and ideas that hinder
more than they help
sometimes you have to
see it through
... and sometimes you have
to see through...
Dear Hannah,
I was assigned a role in this life before I was born ...
... but was then cast (thrown forcefully) into a cast (the actors in a play) according to caste ("social status or position conferred by a system based on class") ...
... hear me now ...
... my "truth" is "living in a daily lie" ...
... but the show must go on ...

Dear Hannah,
Stick to the Master Plan (#MasterPlan) - even when current events make it feel like the world is out of control.

Dear Hannah,
The road to reconciliation starts with ...
realization (of both the might and the plight),
respect (both spiritual essence and natural function),
reassurance (of commitment to the corrective plan and path - don't ask for trust ... EARN IT),
and REAL relationship (dealing with each other as EQUALS).
We've got a long way to go ...
... because we keep trying to start at the finish line ...
... and often label voices of reason as ...
Dear Hannah,
Mistakes are great teachers because they grab your undivided attention.
Trees are great teachers, too.
You see all their majesty and might ... and their mistakes.
You see that ... even in their might (right?) ... they can still fall ... timber(!).

Dear Hannah,
Keep your peace ...
... through doubt and uncertainty
... through headache
... through heartache

Dear Hannah,
i'm the brother
from another planet
I travel each day
far, far away

Dear Hannah,
You will live, love, win, lose, and LEarn while you are alive.
You will uplift and dignify.
You will win friends and influence people.
You will also disturb the status quo.
You will speak truth to power.
You will tell your own story.
Not everyone will read it.
Not everyone will believe it.
Not everyone will like it.
They may tell a different version.
What people think of you is none of your business.
Forget what they say.
Love,
Dadd...
Dear Hannah ... If you are wondering ... "What do you DO with all these songs ...?" Thanks for asking. I have a catalog of 45 of these #Autoethnographies (self-reflective "studies") that anchor a yearlong (two-semester) course I developed called #TheSeeSayShow. Sharing them lets me see which ones "slap" (resonate with unprompted, diverse audiences). #TheSeeSayShow is my holistic response to what I see in my high school classroom ev...
Dear Hannah, Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation where someone makes another person doubt their own judgment, perception, or sanity. It is heinous (wicked), pernicious (harmful), prevalent, and *effective*. How do you combat something so powerful? How do you resist (refuse to accept or comply ... not be affected)? I can "see" the lies when I believe and respect the truth. I can "say" what accepts the lie, affirms th...

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
