BLACK MEN RISING: Is Patriarchy disconnecting us from our true power?

4 years ago Decolonising the Archive (DTA) conducted a case study that showed high results of well being challenges being faced by African heritage and mix raced men in the U.K. especially within the context of a racialised trauma riddled environment. The research recognised a hidden statistic of men who may not qualify for medical treatment for depression, SAD disease, anxiety or wish to be identified as being labelled for needing such treatment.  This raised questions around the silent death culture endemic ' how did we get here?'... as the research identified high increases in disassociation, suicide,  relationship breakdown, isolation, violence towards women,  misrepresentation amongst Black men.  We recognised that in order to really tackle this it would have to be a for us and by us approach.
