From Addiction to Fatherhood: Tyrell Jenkins on Breaking Cycles & Raising Black Boys

Tyrell Jenkins’ story is one of raw honesty, redemption, and real fatherhood. From battling addiction and depression to becoming a devoted father, Navy veteran, and consultant for the Pentagon and Google—this episode is a masterclass in breaking generational cycles and rewriting your legacy. Tyrell opens up about hitting rock bottom after his mum kicked him out, the substances that controlled his life, and the moment rehab and military discipline saved him. He shares the painful impact of his father’s violence, serial infidelity, and rejection of Tyrell’s gay brother—and how he’s determined to raise his own boys differently. We also dive into what it means to raise Black boys in America, how he supports his wife’s business on a single income, and why he chose to get a vasectomy after baby number two. This episode is powerful, emotional, and full of wisdom every parent—especially dads—needs to hear.
