Game Changing Leaders In The South

As we are ended road stops through Real Talk on the Road we want to continue to respond to the needs and feedback from community members. GCM is mobilizing and centering of black trans men and trans masc leaders from the Southeast region. We have heard and learned during our stops that community connections and tangible information is needed to help improve and impact trans masc health and well-being.

 

As trans masc have been often excluded from conversations and policies surrounding our health now is the time to bridge the gap and this pilot cohort and summit will address the barriers and begin to fill those gaps. The Real Talk state organizers will be placed into a leadership development cohort (11 members) focusing advocacy, policy, and health education. Halfway through the Game Changing Men will hold a summit in conjunction with the 2024 Naesm Conference
