THE BOOK

ITAV is focused on engaging and empowering Black men to share their lived experiences reflecting on their childhood (8 year old), adolescence (18 year old) or adult (28 year old) selves. This collection of essays will be edited by the project’s director and co-director and released in fall 2022.
