Barber Shop Talk Series: Black Masculinity and Misconceptions

Boys to Men: Women raising Black young men

On Wednesday, July 11th, 2018 Barber Shop Talk Series: Black masculinity is hosting three social events in three separate cities (Montreal, Toronto, and Ottawa) which explores the social development of young Black men by the women who raise them.

• The Montreal event is supported by Mitchell McLarnon, PhD candidate with 成人VR视频's Department of Integrated Studies in Education; the lead facilitator for the Montreal event is Salina Berhane, undergraduate student with 成人VR视频's听Department of Integrated Studies in Education.

When: Wednesday, July 11th, 2018

Time: 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm

Where: 听Montreal: Dynasty studio's: 听330 St Jacques St. Montr茅al, Qu茅bec

Toronto (location: University of Toronto - 听Transitional Year Program, 123 St. George St. Toronto, Ontario )

Ottawa: Cultural Arts Studio: 40 Colonnade Rd. Ottawa, Ontario

These events seek to understand how young Black men socially construct their masculinities in a Canadian context. Knowing that anti-Black racism and negative stereotypes exist within our Canadian societies, which impede Black men鈥檚 upward mobility, the idea is to disrupt such social norms. Building upon a previous dialogue about Black Canadian masculinities, we are encouraging positive social outcomes for Black men and boys, but also the community members they are in relation with.

The purpose of three cities is to understand the lived experiences of the development of Black masculinity from an Anglo-phone and Franco-phone perspective.

Guests have the opportunity to participate in our live discussions at either of the three events (Maximum of 20 people). For those who are unable to attend the event, they have the opportunity to access remotely to one of the three cities of their choice.

Go Fund me:

Barbershop Talk Series is a social event that uses the "Barbershop" as a place to meet and collaborate about issues that concern the community, particularly black men and boys. The initiative is geared toward creating a safe space for community members to discuss relevant and critical issues and brainstorm about solutions that will help young Black men in their social development.听听

Through the use of Go Fund me, we are striving to achieve the goal of $420 and the money collected for this event will go directly toward providing haircuts for 21 young Black men who attend these events. We will be distributing 7 vouchers at each of the three "Barbershop Talks" sites (Ottawa, Montreal, and Toronto) to encourage community involvement.
