This project was both semi-autobiographical and cathartic. At first glance it looks as if it’s written for a small few but as we go deeper into the pages, its concepts and exercises it soon becomes apparent that it leaves none of us out – not by class, caste, religious, physical or geo-political standings.
It also summons us as men of African Ancestry both individually and collectively to practice a deep level of self-honesty with ourselves and each other. This level of honesty challenges us to begin a conversation and not a competition; to engage in both a critique and a criticism so that we embark on our healing for ourselves. We open this conversation with us, about us and for us.
