4/5 - TEDxUStreetSalon presents "The Future of Men of Color"

Our first salon event theme is “The Future of Men of Color” where the speakers will discuss their ideas around the changing landscape of the world and how it impacts men of color. With the emergence of the pandemic and the current civic unrest, one can not image the effects it will have on our youth and men of color. What will the job landscape look like? Will men of color have the same level of access to wealth? What about our youth? Will they have the support they need to handle their unique challenges? Are men prepared to thrive in this new normal? These are just some questions that need innovative ideas (recommendation) that will be shared with individuals all over the world. Now is the time to show the world how you see The Future of Men of Color.
