How Does One Address Theses Challenges?

Manhood. Methods. Meaning

Our rich legacy as Black men tells us all too well that the
consequences for us can be very different from what is
expected for everyone else. So, rather than merely focus
on the challenges at stake, we must discover how best
to define Black manhood for ourselves.

Defining Black Manhood

Your Life.
Your Leadership
Your Legacy

When you leave the body, your contribution to others will be be remembered by the life you lead and the legacy you leave for others to build upon. Yet being remembered by others cannot occur if you cannot remember why you are living this life. Without remembering who you are, it is difficult to lead your life, or leave your legacy. The Kairas Initiative is here to coach you through the remembering of your life, your leadership, and your legacy.
