Our Vision

A foundation built on truth, competence, discipline, and service can attain any desired result. Adherence to these principles mitigate and defy headwinds, obstacles, and roadblocks. These basic principles are the foundation of the Black Male Leadership Symposium. We are dedicated to supporting Black Males with what is necessary to build strength from within. Our focus on the core is based on our conviction that strength and power originate from head and heart.

Leading the Way

The Black man has a home on every plane and stratus in the world. Black men are intelligent, creative, strong, and filled with a humanity that commands respect and celebration. Who can forget the nobility of Nelson Mandela who refused to do onto those what they had done unto him? Who did not marvel at the magic of Mohammed Ali and Usain Bolt who elevated sport from mere physical competition to just beyond the imagination? These men are as special as they are black. They are the personification of Marcus Garvey’s message of Black pride, Black power, self-determination, and a destiny of material and spiritual prosperity.

The Future

Africa will continue to be the fastest growing population in the world. By the end of the century, Africa will represent over 30% of the global population – double what it is in 2021. We are the Black Male Leadership Symposium will fulfill our duty to help prepare the next wave of intelligent, creative, strong Black Male leaders to take us to the 22nd century.
