Shawn Dove, author of "I, Too Am America" and the CEO of the Corporation of Black Male Achievement (CBMA). We will discuss the insights, inspiration that humanizes the stories of Black men and boys while offering strategic recommendations on how we move from racial reckoning to racial resolution.

Ever Forward Club's Ashanti Branch is joined by Shawn Dove, CEO of the Campaign for Black Male Achievement (CBMA). An accomplished leader, community-builder, and advocate for children and families, Shawn has held a prominent position as mentor in Ashanti's life. The two share a spiritual connection, an intangible brotherhood, and the fronts and backs of their masks flow and roll open without ever specifically naming the activity, happening through free-flowing conversation, story, and reflection. (1:38) Ashanti introduces the podcast. (4:11) Shawn and Ashanti reflect on the mantra of the season, the current state of affairs, the tumultuous year of 2020, and the importance of moving from extrinsic motivators to intrinsic ones. (10:55) Shawn tells a story about his trip to Ghana and a retreat to Belize, where he feels that he faced death in the form of a dream - and his willingness to fight it gave him the conviction to continue his life's work. (19:45) Shawn and Ashanti reflect on when they first met and connected, the importance of setting lofty goals, and how fear is integral to the history of the Million Mask Movement, and how Ashanti is coming to terms with a particular moment in its history. (28:50) They discuss impostor syndrome, and Shawn tells a story from his childhood about avoiding abduction as a 9-year-old boy in New York City. He shares how he is just now realizing this was trauma and not a badge of honor. (38:20) Ashanti and Shawn begin taking off their masks. (43:24) Then, they ruminate on the common idea that “comparison is the thief of joy”, and on how male vulnerability is now becoming more accepted in our culture - and what these concepts mean when looking back on their past, examining their present, and projecting into the future. (52:33) Shawn shares details on his upcoming book, I Too Am America: On Loving and Leading Black Boys in America, and shares how sunsetting CBMA is preparing him for his third act. (57:15) Shawn and Ashanti acknowledge a “kindred brotherhood”, and how Ashanti's prior fears to reach out to Shawn in tough moments were always overcome by this deep connection. (1:02:40) The men close the show, but not before Ashanti is interrupted by an unexpected visitor and is able to show off his bilingual chops. --- Check out Shawn's: Twitter: twitter.com/DoveSoars Instagram: instagram.com/shawn_dove --- Create your own mask anonymously at www.100kmasks.com If you are interested in being on the Face to Face podcast, email us at everforwardclub@gmail.com --- Connect with Ashanti Branch: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/branchspeaks/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BranchSpeaks Twitter: https://twitter.com/BranchSpeaks LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/ashantibranch --- Send in a voice message: anchor.fm/branch-speaks/message

BLACK MEN AND BOYS MATTER. They are assets to our communities and our country. As a nation, we cannot truly prosper when any group of people is excluded and forced to exist on the fringes of society. The well-being of Black men and boys has a direct influence on the strength of our families, communities and our nation as a whole. 2018 MARKS THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY of the Campaign for Black Male Achievement (CBMA). Launched in 2008 as a three-year initiative at the Open Society Foundations, CBMA became independent in 2015, stretching the initiative’s original three-year term limit into a decade of accelerating investments in Black men and boys to unprecedented levels. To build beloved communities across America, where Black men and boys are healthy, thriving and enabled to achieve their fullest potential — this is CBMA’s core mission and rallying cry. There is much to acknowledge in the organization’s decade-long efforts to generate more than $320 million in investment for Black men and boys, while sparking the tremendous growth of an entire field dedicated to Black male achievement to support improved life outcomes for all young men of color.

Dave’s guest is social entrepreneur Shawn Dove, currently the CEO of the Campaign for Black Male Achievement (CBMA), a national membership organization dedicated to ensuring the growth, sustainability and impact of leaders and organizations focused on improving the life outcomes of America’s Black men and boys. Prior to the CBMA Shawn worked for over 20 years in youth development, community building and advocacy for children and families.

Started by the Open Society Foundations in 2008 as the nation’s largest philanthropic initiative on this issue, Dove’s leadership has propelled CBMA into becoming an independent entity, growing its membership to more than 4,000 leaders representing over 2,000 organizations nation-wide. For more than a decade, Dove has demonstrated catalytic leadership in helping to establish and develop the field of Black Male Achievement. He has served as a lead organizer of the Executives’ Alliance to Expand Opportunities for Boys & Young Men of Color; brokered a partnership between Open Society Foundations, Bloomberg Philanthropies and the City of New York to launch the NYC Young Men’s Initiative; and helped seed the launch of the White House’s My Brother’s Keeper Initiative. Under Dove’s direction, CBMA’s efforts led to the creation of the nation’s first-ever Black Male Achievement fellowship for social entrepreneurs in partnership with Echoing Green, and he played a key role in the formation of Cities United, a national strategy that facilitates partnerships between mayors, municipal leaders and community-based organizations to eliminate violent deaths of Black men and boys in over 70 cities. Prior to heading up the Campaign for Black Male Achievement, Dove held over 20 years of leadership experience as a youth development professional, community-builder and advocate for children and families. He began his professional career as Executive Director of The DOME Project, a NYC-based youth development organization, then went on to become Director of Youth Ministries for First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens in Somerset, NJ, where he managed the 7,000-member institution’s youth development initiatives, strategic partnerships and cross-ministry collaborations. Dove also served as the New York Vice President for MENTOR/National Mentoring Partnership, during which time he successfully doubled the organization’s membership of mentoring programs and created The Male Mentoring Project, a city-wide public awareness and recruitment strategy to grow more African American and Latino male mentors in New York City. As Creative Communities Director for the National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts, Dove led and managed the technical assistance,

We also learned about a piece of AIDS history we never knew before: This week on Entertainment Tonight, model Kathy Ireland revealed that Dame Elizabeth Taylor ran what was essentially an underground drug ring and safe house to help HIV positive people. At the time, healthcare for AIDS patients was abysmal, and lifesaving drugs had to be smuggled into the country illegally. And Jaison told us about a great panel discussion featuring Norman Lear, the pioneering TV producer behind socially-progressive shows like "All in the Family," "Good Times," "The Jeffersons," and more. Lear said TV is still a place where social norms can be challenged and stereotypes can be upended. New shows like "Black-ish" have picked up where the groundbreaking shows of Lear's heyday left off. But it's not just the content of TV shows that influence culture, for better or worse. The advertisements that come between show segments don't always just push products. They can also present certain mindsets about gender, race, sexuality and other values. "You virtually never see men in any kind of commercial cleaning up their home, or even their office space," Kaila notes. "This is how advertising basically facilitates ideas of misogyny and patriarchy." But it's not just women who are maligned by this approach — the same companies generally portray men as clueless and helpless in the domestic sphere, when in reality, Kaila notes, "A grown man knows how to do his laundry." Our feature interview this week also explores the social and economical forces that may hold men down — and how cities around the country are trying to mitigate those forces. This week, the Campaign for Black Male Achievement (CBMA) released its first-ever Black Male Achievement City Index. The index measures factors such as whether a city has philanthropic groups and leadership initiatives focused on helping black men and boys succeed. Louisville scored 51 out of a possible 100 points, putting us around the middle of the top 50 cities. Daryle Unseld, senior community manager for Metro United Way, joined us to talk about the local results, He said the Louisville numbers reflect national trends, and he's happy with the results. “I think it’s a great start,” Unseld said. “I think we have the urgency and the opportunity to do more. While we can celebrate some successes, I think we also need to be cognizant that we have a lot of work to do.” He laid out some of the initiatives that are happening around Louisville to improve. To understand the wider national context of the study, we spoke to Rashid Shabazz, a program officer with CBMA. He says while black men do face disparities from employment, education, and policing throughout the country, this particular report focuses on the ways cities are trying to help. “We want to spotlight these initiatives and efforts that are moving forward in the midst of the peril and the challenge that folks are facing,” he said. “These are glimmers of hope.”
