Hindsight: Dating Advice from a Healed Black Man
Book Release Coming Soon
In his upcoming debut, Dr. Kerry Neal dares to speak about what many only whisper about when it comes to love, vulnerability, and the lived experiences of Black men navigating modern relationships. Hindsight is more than just another dating guide — it is a bold collection of truths, drawn from Neal’s own hard-earned journey of heartbreak, healing, and transformation. Combining his acclaimed weekly articles for the Inland Valley News with deeply personal reflections, Dr. Neal explores what it truly means to date whole, to love without pretense, and to build partnerships that can withstand both storms and sunshine. With sharp insight, raw honesty, and a deep passion for seeing Black love not just survive but thrive, Hindsight challenges tired narratives while offering fresh, unapologetic wisdom for men and women alike. Equal parts provocative and restorative, this book aims to be a rallying cry for a new era of love—one where healing is essential and authenticity is the greatest aphrodisiac.
