Black Boys in White Spaces - Helping Educators Build Awareness and Practical Solutions

Black Boys in White Spaces - Helping Educators Build Awareness and Practical Solutions
 

 Dylan Watson stated “Black boys deserve to be boys — to be young, carefree, and nurtured. To be seen as human — capable of being hurt, bullied, and afraid. They deserve a school system that will educate them with intentional love…We all deserve schools that will think about how race plays with learning — everyone’s learning.”

At Southern Soul Livestream We Agee: Join us at 8 pm Eastern on Thursday to explore the risks, challenges, and experiences of educating Black Boys in White Spaces - Helping Educators Build Awareness and Practical Solutions with Dr. Sheldon L. Eakins, Ph.D. of the Leading Equity Center.

Also, this week we sit down with Charles Couch (Director) and Corbin Coleman (Producer), creators of the documentary "I'm Good Bro: Unmasking Black Male Depression." Charles and Corbin have produced numerous award-winning projects that address mental health issues like Depression, Suicide, and Self-Harm among Black Males.

During this courageous conversation, we will discuss the impact of depression on the Black male community. The reality is that many Black men suffer from depression and do not seek professional help.

"We, as Black men, must stop being ashamed, realize depression is a problem, and seek help. So that is why it is the title of my documentary," Charles Couch
