As the creator of Black Man Now, Eric Payton is leading the effort to bring more Black men into men’s work. All communities and walks of life benefit from dropping their masks and authentically sharing. Pain doesn’t care about race, it is affecting us all. The more we unite and realize our commonalities, the deeper this brotherhood becomes. We also cover why many white men are confused by racial conversations, how to reconstruct our mindset, and why loving people is necessary to lead.
