Dr. Gee starts his conversation with faith leader and professional musician Marquis Hunt by talking about addressing young Black men to understand that they do have voice that can matter. Marquis wrote a letter to a “Black Brother” as “a call to every Black man who’s ever felt overlooked, undervalued, or trapped in a system that wasn’t built for us.” They discuss why there is a need to call young Black men to create a greater narrative than the one that society is telling them.
Before the recent election, Dr. Gee and Marquis looked deeply into the environment around the Black vote in the 2024 election, especially for Black men. Also, don’t miss an extra fun Black Ice Breakers session.
