About this episode
T.C. Carson joins the hosts to discuss themes of masculinity and support for Black women in the context of Living Single.
This week on ReLiving Single, we’re joined by the incomparable T.C. Carson—aka the original stockbroker with swag, Kyle Barker. Together, they rewind Living Single Season 1, Episode 23, “Five Card Stud,” where Kyle defends Regine in a high stakes poker game. The three unpack what it means for Black men to show up and speak up for Black women, the complexity of Kyle’s choices, and how the male friendships on the show offered a refreshing take on healthy masculinity. Plus, we get into today’s so-called “manosphere,” why self-awareness is sexy, and how real love requires real growth. Got a burning question for Erika or Kim about Living Single?
