This Is Communion: A Healing & Loving Space for Black Men
Christopher Travers; Na'eem Allen-Stills
About Campus, v29 n6 p24-28 2025
Christopher Travers and Na'eem Allen-Stills discuss Communion for Black Men (CBM), a Black Male Initiative (BMI), which is a community gathering for Black college men to combat feelings of loneliness, isolation, and unbelonging. The bi-weekly Saturday Zoom sessions last between 75 and 90 minutes. On average, about 7--10 Black male higher education faculty, students, and administrators, between ages 20 and 45, gather to meet one another in communion. While the initial gatherings were spent discussing lessons learned from a collective book readings, subsequent sessions have been spent discussing topics like communal self-love, joy, and navigating rejection. At the end of the article, the authors offer student affairs practitioners several thoughts inspired by their time in CBM.
