Black Men Bloom: Presented by Smile, Bro & Poetry-N-Motion LLC

Black Men Bloom is more than a panel, it’s a gathering. A space where culture meets craft and conversation becomes medicine. Join me, LeJuane “El’Ja” Bowens, alongside Gabe Cooper, Keith Edward Sowell, and Samod Wilson as we sit at the intersection of artistry, identity, and brotherhood. We’re talking about the journey, the wins, the losses, the unseen battles, the creative process, and what it means to grow while carrying the weight and beauty of being Black men creating in the world. Expect honesty, laughter, perspective, and stories that live beyond the stage. Come build, connect, and pour into a space rooted in community and truth. Because Black men are more than survival stories. We are growth. We are art. We bloom.
