“It has almost become unpopular to talk about what it means to be a man, to deal with the concept of Manhood. You’ve got to deal with it. You can’t get around it.” – Nana Amos Wilson

We will engage a series of workshops on various aspects of Black Manhood, including space for general discussion. Our special guest facilitators are all Black Afrikan Men with a proven track record of sustained work with Black Men; addressing issues pertaining to Black Manhood!
