This is the first interview of a Two Part Series with ReBrand the Black Man. ReBrandTheBlackMan is committed to changing the way the global community views and evaluates the Black male.  Within the context of “perception is reality”, Black men have been cast as one dimensional, lazy, & unessential.  Much of what the Black man is and does has been exploited and devalued.  It is our mission to highlight the valuable contributions that have been made and are being made by Black men all across the globe, and provide individual and collective examples for a positive change in the contemporary worldview.
