It all started with a chat. At the back end of 2022 co-founders Cameron Okai & Bud Johnston formed Men of Melanin, to give a much needed space to men of colour. Originally the aim was simple, a hangout, some barbershop talk & meet some new friends. What actually happened has been magical. Through the delivery of facilitated group sessions the Men of Melanin meet monthly with a core focus around the pillars of health, mental, physical & spiritual. With over 180 members this space has proven its necessity & strength.
We believe that everyone deserves to be heard. Societal stereotypes and perceptions of men of colour contribute to unnecessary challenges that traditional offerings don't recognise. The Men of Melanin provides the outlet and recognition within a safe space
