Reimagining Black Masculinities

The public’s imagination of Black men and masculinities often draws from racist attitudes, depictions, and distortions that neglect/exclude narratives of healing, self-love, vulnerability, and joy. We created space (curated by our colleague Nana Brantuo) for and with Black men to reflect on and engage in conversation on the beauties, complexities, and possibilities of Black masculinities. #BlackMasculinitiesUMD
