A Sip With Samaad is a reflective podcast exploring identity, fatherhood, leadership, and the conversations men rarely have out loud. Hosted by Dr. Samaad Wes Keys, a Black queer husband, father, and higher education leader, the show creates space for honest dialogue about what it means to grow, lead, love, and care in a world that often asks men to perform strength without vulnerability. Each episode blends personal storytelling, cultural reflection, and thoughtful conversation with guests to unpack topics like masculinity, friendship, ambition, faith, mental health, power, and belonging. Through signature segments like The Pour and From Where I Sit, Samaad invites listeners to slow down, reflect, and sit with the tensions that shape our lives. This isn’t a podcast about having all the answers. It’s about telling the truth, asking better questions, and making room for the parts of ourselves we’re still becoming. <
