Boys and men of color need to see positive images of
themselves and have their stories told.
Define yourself, redefine the world: The Guided Journal for
Boys and Men of Color with empowering words, motivating experiences
and insightful quotes.
Being a man means being responsible, operating your
ego from a place of love not a place of pride and selfish
decisions.
Being a black man or black boy is not monolithic — we walk and
talk in different and varied spaces and narratives.
Black men have a responsibility to acknowledge their
privileges as men and use it to elevate the voices of Black women
and girls.
Men have a tendency to suffer in silence but there is an
opportunity to create community to heal, foster restoration and
build accountability.
Can you do a single or double windsor knot? The 1,000 Ties
initiative shows Black men and boys how.
