Twenty-five year old Brandon Frame of Hartford’s High School Inc., a and founder of TheBlackManCan.orghas pledged to support at least 500 young black males in four major markets by the end of the year providing a one-day mentoring program through TheBlackManCan Institute. Since September, The BlackManCan Institute visited Baltimore with nearly 80 young boys of color that attended and plans to welcome young boys of color in New Haven at Yale’s African-American Culture Center on Saturday, October 19th. Online registration is open for up to 100 young boys to attend starting at 8am on Saturday. Please visit the website to register: https://theblackmancaninstitutenewhaven.eventbrite.com/.
All can agree, it’s been a tough summer for young black boys and men across the country albeit globally. TheBlackManCan Institute is designed to uplift, empower, educate and motivate young men of color, answering the cry for a response to the lingering challenges Black boys and men face nationally.
Don C. Sawyer, III, Associate Professor at Quinnipiac University will serve as the keynote and the young men can expect to experience activities such as: Fashion & Grooming, Health & Wellness, Developing a Dream Support Team and Processing Your Emotions, just to name a few.
Brandon Frame is a notable author, scholar, educator and newsmaker who was just named one of Hartford’s “40 Under 40”, has always felt compelled to give-back, something instilled in him while attending the prestigious Morehouse College in Atlanta. Brandon shares, “I want TheBlackManCan Institute to touch the lives of boys and men around the world. My hope for the work I do is to be more successful in combating the negative images of Black men and boys with which we're bombarded on a daily basis.”
Boys of Color attending TheBlackManCan Institute can be assured that their cultural needs will be addressed and they will be free to express themselves while fostering brotherhood. Powerful workshops and keynote speakers will empower and educate young men in attendance. All young men attending the Institute will receive ties from Final Frame Neckwear and a copy of Brandon’s debut title, Define Yourself, Redefine the World: A Guided Journal for Black Boys and Men , which is being used as a therapeutic starting point for empowerment, self-love, and forward progress for young males across the country.
