WHAT: Taking into consideration the untimely deaths of Eric Garner and Mike Brown,
the First Annual Black Male Summit & Town Hall presented by the
LoveLife Foundation seeks to dispel the negative portrayal of Black
males in the American society. Inspired by the poem, Invictus, to reflect the change one wants to seek in the world, the theme of the inaugural summit is “I AM THE MASTER OF MY FATE”. The Black Male Summit & Town Hall Meeting
will highlight accurate information and data on where and how Black
males are achieving. This signature event will also provide solutions to
properly identify, improve and respond to encourage empowerment and
growth.
*Note: This Event
will be the first of a series of events introducing the city to the
Foundation with the very first annual – Raheem Devaughn’s LoveLife
Foundation Charity Weekend, August 22 – 24, 2014. A full list of the Weekend’s Events can be provided upon request.
