PROPOSALS FOR BREAKOUT SESSION

The Black Men’s Health Conference is a space dedicated to advancing the health and healing of Black men through culturally grounded, holistic, and empowering dialogue. This year’s theme, “Mind, Body, and Spirit,” focuses on the interconnected dimensions of health and wellness for Black men across the life span.

​

We are seeking proposals for workshops, panels, talks, and interactive sessions (30–60 minutes in length) that align with the conference theme. Sessions should center the lived experiences of Black men and promote empowerment, healing, and actionable takeaways.
