FlashMob

Saturday, August 31 @ 10:00am

Calling all gentlemen of the African Diaspora who are interested in changing the narrative of our culture!

Similar to Frederick Douglass’ battle against racist imagery, The Black Menswear FlashMob series is a traveling collective that brings Black men together, suited and booted, to network, share ideas and create culture-shifting viral content. Originating in Dallas, TX, the Black Menswear FlashMob has brought together thousands of black men around the world to write our own narrative about the success and presence of the Black Man. This event is a great networking opportunity that has produced business partnerships, increased clientele for entrepreneurs, and mentorship groups. Again echoing Douglass’ thoughts, the Black Menswear FlashMob provides “an additional image of blackness that contradicts the prevailing racist stereotypes.”

Suit Required, tie optional (Blazers and Sport Coats welcomed)

* There is no such thing as too plain or too extra, but you MUST HAVE A JACKET ON!
