The support of a woman is the most critical component to a great man’s success. We’ve come so far away from this principle thing that its crippling our community that most people don’t even care enough to say anything about it. Look at all of our young men being hauled away to prison, wearing their pants low, and no respect for the woman. All of this is a result of the years of fathers being exiled from the home, the community, and ultimately from power.

This leaves the mother to proclaim their position of being the mother and the father. Some are able to pull it off while most mothers are failing horribly at the dual task that is meant for two. A mom can’t teach her son on how to be a man and neither can a man teach his daughter on how to be a woman – a Queen! If it takes a village to raise one child then how can one parent take on this responsibility? There is a direct correlation between the number of people currently incarcerated – 3 million men and women. The disparity between the different races incarcerated (black, white, asian, and hispanic) is alarming. 1 out of every 15 black males are expected to go to prison compared to 1 out of every 105 while males are expected to be incarcerated. Some men will never get to their destiny without the support of a good loving woman. President Obama with Michelle on his side is a perfect example.

A female caller from my weekly show, The King Kevin Dorival Show, asked me, “Why don’t men appreciate all that a woman does for them? The take us for granted and expect us to put up with it!” That was a valid question and a very good point. I’ve always showed my appreciation for the things that the special women in my life has done for me. Men, the best way to show a woman that you’re “THANKFUL” is by first saying “THANKYOU” but to also show her with your actions. Buy some flyers, jewelry, or doing something that you hate doing like watching Lifetime with her (LOL) but it works. For those of you that are struggling financially find something to do with her such as: walk on the beach under the moonlight or under the beautiful sun, rub her feet with special attention to the corns, or a surprise dinner.

At the end of the day we need our women beside us and back in our corner. It is my intentions to place a bright light on the matter, amongst other pertinent things that are impacting our community with drastic effects, by filming a documentary called, The Courage To Believe.
