LIVING BRAVE RETREAT
In October 2019 , we honored a group of men who expressed bravery through speaking and narrating their life's challenges as men of color in America. Each honoree will engage in a weekend of activities on deepening their impact in their community.
Each participant concluded the weekend charged to impact another young male in their community.

Being able to have interactions with other men of color with a wide range of backgrounds was comforting but also challenged each of us to be understanding of our differences. I love the purpose of the retreat and I’ll definitely be implementing aspects of this retreat moving forward."
