Finding Inspiration in Every Turn

Our Story

In 2021, Game Changing Men became a reality through the vision of our founding Executive Director Quinton Reynolds who noticed a gap in programming and service delivery for black masculine identities. Located in Newnan, Geogia, it is a healing space for masculine identities, cis or trans to come together for healing,growth, and support.
We believe once healing has begun, we can then address how previous trauma and harm show up and add to violence. By building healing spaces and communities, we can together break cycles of harm and encourage collective care. Game Changing Men vision is bridging gaps between the cis and trans community to enhance communities of color and overall well-being.
