Our first meetup for โThe Buildโ BLKMEN Book Study gave us plenty to reflect on. ๐โ๐พ
We began with Malcolm in the Desert by Dr. Ilyasah Shabazz, the daughter of Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz. Exploring its spiritual foundation, Hajj, and the different pilgrimages we experience throughout life. We discussed how a journey can challenge what we believe, deepen our faith, and change how we see ourselves and others. That gave us room to reflect on our own journeys and what theyโre teaching us as men.
Much appreciation to every brother who showed up, shared, and listened, and to Grassrootz Bookstore & Cafe for making space for the build.
Next up: An American Marriage by Tayari Jones. Grab your copy and join us November 22 at 9 a.m. at Grassrootz, 1145 E. Washington St., Phoenix.
