In this conversation Coach Michael Taylor engages in a dialog with a group of black men who are committed to removing this stereotype and encouraging black men to open up about their emotions and feelings and the challenges of being a black male in America. In this conversation the men will be sharing their thoughts and feelings regarding intimacy, vulnerability and emotional healing. It will be a heartfelt and thought provoking conversation that will showcase the depth of feeling and emotions in which black men communicate.
