About the Black Man Can, Inc.
Started as a blog, over the last seven years TBMC has evolved in a conscious social community that reflects positive images of black boys and men of color .
Raw in our reflections, we are here to show the world that a positive image is not always about being polished, but it is about being intentional
+Intentional in doing Good
+Intentional in always striving to be your best self
+Intentional in not being who others think you are but being who you are
We are architects, constructing a framework for how the world perceives, interacts and embraces men and boys of color--taking us from a world of you can't to a world that truly believes we can.
