H.O.M.E. : "The Weight We Carry" Men's Panel & "Becoming" Boys Panel

Imagine sitting in a barbershop after the clippers stop buzzing. The jokes have settled. Real talk is permitted. Men seen. Boys heard.
About this Event

11 a.m.-1p.m Men's Panel

What are men carrying that nobody talks about?

The pressure to perform. The pressure we're okay when we're not.

The Weight We Carry is a powerful community conversation exploring the unseen burdens many men carry every day—expectations, pressure, grief, fear, responsibility, identity, relationships, and the silent weight of always being "the strong one.". Sometimes healing begins when men witness other men tell the truth safely.

2p.m.-4pm Boy's Panel

Before a man becomes, he is a boy trying to figure out who he is.

Becoming is an empowering conversation created specifically for boys and young men navigating identity, confidence, friendships, social media, emotions, purpose, and the pressure to fit in while standing out. Because every young man is becoming something.

The question is: Who are you becoming?

Participants will engage with interactive stations, creative engagement opportunities, and leave lighter.
