“You’re a slave to another man’s belief if you can’t cry.”

Actor Skyh Black joins the xoMAN Podcast to explore how Hollywood, masculinity, and his own upbringing shaped — and almost broke — his identity. In this raw and inspiring conversation, he opens up about becoming a professional ballet dancer, navigating fame while staying true to his roots, and unlearning toxic definitions of manhood.

Host Kiara Walker (@kikisaidso) dives deep with Skyh on:

  • Being raised by strong Black women and protecting his emotional core

  • His early career as a dancer for Beyoncé and how it shaped his discipline

  • The cost of code-switching and pressure to be palatable in Hollywood

  • His evolving views on love, family, and fatherhood — including a hint at future plans 👀

  • Why vulnerability, not bravado, is a man’s real strength

This episode is a masterclass in shedding the performance and showing up as your whole self.
