Acton In Focus Interview with Comedian Corey Manning http://www.actontv.org

I am pleased to announce that I, Corey Manning, will be facilitating two important training sessions at the 6th Annual Fatherhood & BMoC (Boys and Young Men of Color) Conference in Buffalo, NY. This event is a crucial platform for addressing the unique challenges and opportunities faced by fathers and boys of color in today's society.

Training Session on Friday, October 11: Effective Communication for Adult African American Males: This session, designed for adult African American males, focuses on effective communication strategies to discuss substance misuse with youth. The session aims to empower participants with techniques to initiate and sustain impactful dialogues, understand the pressures facing today’s youth, and create a preventive environment in homes and communities.

Training Session on Saturday, October 12: Effective Communication for Adult African American Males (Continued): The second day continues with deepening the understanding and strategies covered on the first day, with a special focus on proactive prevention methods and supportive actions to intervene in cases of substance misuse.

Each session is tailored to foster a meaningful impact on the lives of fathers, boys, and young men of Color across Western New York, contributing to a more just and equitable society.
