🚨 NEW VIDEO ALERT 🚨
Too many men are suffering in silence.
Depression. Anxiety. Stress. Trauma. Loneliness. Financial pressure. Relationship struggles.
Yet many men never ask for help.
This week on **Black Westchester Magazine: The Publisher's Desk with Damon K. Jones**, we're having a conversation that every man, family, church, and community needs to hear.
🎙️ Featuring:
✅ Rev. Andre Coleman
✅ Rev. Dr. Darren Morton
We discuss the mental health challenges facing men today, the role of faith in healing, and why breaking the stigma around mental health is critical for stronger families and stronger communities.
Because healing isn't weakness.
Healing is strength.
Watch now on the @BlackWestchester and @DamonKJones YouTube channels.
And don't forget to support the upcoming **Men's Mental Health Forum** at Macedonia Baptist Church in Mount Vernon as we continue this important conversation.

For generations, New York law recognized two words that every child understood: **Mother** and **Father**.
Today, Senate Bill S9316 replaces those terms throughout portions of New York Family Court Law with language such as **"Gestating Parent," "Non-Gestating Parent,"** and **"Parentage."**
Supporters call it modernization.
I believe New Yorkers should ask a simple question:
**What problem is being solved?**
At a time when communities are struggling with fatherlessness, declining marriage rates, family instability, educational challenges, and economic pressure, Albany has chosen to redefine the language of family.
In my latest op-ed, **"New York's Attack on the Conventional Family: The Deletion of Mother and Father From Family Law,"** I examine:
• What Senate Bill S9316 actually does
• Why "Paternity Proceedings" becomes "Parentage Proceedings"
• Why many Black pastors and religious organizations remain silent
• Why family has always been the cornerstone of both the Black freedom struggle and the Christian faith
• Whether changing language strengthens families—or weakens them
The family is not just another institution.
It is the first school, the first government, and the first place where faith, values, and responsibility are passed from one generation to the next.
If motherhood and fatherhood still matter, why remove them from the law?

🚨 MEATLESS MONDAYS 🚨
LIVE MONDAY AT 11 AM EST
FOOD IS NOT A RELIGION. IT’S PART OF OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
Every time we discuss nutrition, health, and what the Bible says about food, someone says:
“You’re creating a religion around food.”
But are we?
Or are we simply discussing a subject that God addressed from Genesis to Revelation?
If the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit…
If Daniel became healthier through discipline…
If God gave mankind food instructions in the Garden…
Why are so many Christians uncomfortable talking about what we eat?
Join Damon K. Jones for a powerful conversation on faith, stewardship, health, and the growing health crisis in Black America.
This is not about salvation through vegetables.
This is about responsibility, stewardship, and asking whether our habits are producing life or disease.

🚨 COMING THIS WEEK 🚨
BLACK AMERICA: THE GIANTS, TRUMP, AND A LESSON BLACK AMERICA IS FORGETTING
When a Giants player introduced Donald Trump, social media exploded.
But are we asking the right questions?
Can people with different political opinions still work together?
Why has disagreement become a reason to attack, shame, or cancel people?
What does any of this do to improve Black communities?
In this episode of The Publisher’s Desk, we break down the controversy, the reaction, and the larger lesson about politics, unity, independent thinking, and outcomes.
You may agree.
You may disagree.
But this is a conversation Black America needs to have.
