Mortal Man: How a Black Male Initiative Changed Me
Caleb Austin Sewell
New Directions for Student Services, n186 p49-57 2024
In this article, I use an autobiographical narrative case study to discuss my journey with my mental health and the ways that being a part of a Black men's initiative--first as a member, next as a peer mentor, and lastly, as the teaching assistant--helped me to undo some of the neglectful and toxic ways that I was avoiding my body, mind, and soul while pursuing my undergraduate degree. This article calls for campus leaders and administrators to understand and prioritize the need for Black men's initiatives. These initiatives create a crucial space for Black men at historically White institutions to access a culturally situated environment that can ultimately support their wellness.
