Black Men Talk
A therapist-guided dialogue circle for men 18+ focused on connection, accountability, mental wellness, and community.

Black Men Talk began as a book club, but over time the conversations became just as important as the books themselves.
Each session creates room for men to speak openly, listen deeply, and grow together, guided by a licensed therapist. This is not group therapy. It is a guided space for conversation, reflection, and growth while building community.
