Man Listen... Black Men Must Organize Now

The Man Listen Show sits down with Marv B to break down the inaugural Active Black Dad Leadership Conference, a free half day gathering for Black men in Topeka, Kansas on Saturday, June 27, 9 AM to 12 PM at Hillcrest Community Center.We get into the heart of it: why Topeka, the legacy of Brown v. Board, the loss the community has carried, and why organizing Black men is the way forward. Marv breaks down the panels on Black men's mental health, domestic violence, and fatherhood, why the room is intentionally men only, and what he wants every brother to walk away with. The conference is 100% free and community funded. Register, then send the Black men in your life: your sons, nephews, fathers, and mentors.Speakers include Curtis Pitts, Dr. Jacqueline Kenoly, John Hyman, Reggie Jackson, and the Topeka Doula Project Dads Den (Bri Markham and Tony Green).
