Mental Health Awareness Week 18th – 24th May 2020 7pm
Description:
Like many other Black Men, Kwame is living in a historical moment.
Join the Black Men’s Consortium on the global stage for a virtual performance in order to connect and dialogue about how Black Men can move forwards with personal and collective action around their mental health.
Questions to think about:
● How can Black Men survive COVID 19 and remain proactive during these challenging and uncertain times?
● How do we ensure that Black Men are not the first to die in this ongoing pandemic ?
● What are the current obstacles Black Men face in the time of lockdown?
● What can Black Men do collectively to look after their Mental Health & Wellbeing and address our current reality?
● How can Black Men support and guide the next generation so that we are better prepared for civil action?
In association with ADPAC, Media Net Live TV, Ubele, Colourful Radio & Black Thrive
