Date: Monday, June 23, 2025
Time: 7:30–9:30pm CST
Location: Virtual (Zoom)
Hosted by: Courtney Brame | Something Positive for Positive People
Join us for a timely, intimate symposium centering conversations with Black men navigating the intersection of masculinity and queerness. This event lives at the crossroads of Pride Month and Men’s Mental Health Month, and brings together two movements that often run parallel—but rarely intersect in public dialogue.
This space isn’t about performance or debate. It’s about presence.
Together, we’ll reflect on how masculinity is shaped, challenged, and expanded by queerness—and how queer education, relationships, and community have impacted how we show up as Black men.
What to Expect
Three grounded conversations with Black men with varied lived experiences
Space for reflection, presence, and curiosity—not performance
A commitment to vulnerability, consent, and mutual respect
Temporary replay access for those who RSVP
Opportunity to support collective healing through donation
Donation-Based Entry

How to Attend
