A Call to MEN

By Jahnasia Booker

 

 

What does it mean to be a man? There are few ladies out there that would love to listen to this show. Here, Ted Bunch challenges the socialization of what it means to be a man. His organization “A Call to MEN” encourages men to redefine man hood and Bunch tells us how the notions of masculinity affects how men treat women. 

 

“On some level, we all have been taught three things we call manhood [or defines manhood]… we have a concept that we call the ‘man box,’ and breaking out of the ‘man box’… [One lesson we are taught] is that women and girls have less value than men and boys. 

 

That man box is about being aggressive. Men are taught that women have less value than men. Young men are receiving the notion that women have less value. For instance, when a young boy is growing up in the game of sports and his coach says “you have to throw harder than that son! You shoot like a little girl!” This  displays to the young man that however a girl throws a ball, he does not want to throw like that because “throwing like a girl” is not good. 

 

 

Another way in which manhood is defined is property. Men believe that a woman is the property of men. 

 

The last objectification, we are taught to objectify a woman. Women do not have the same value as men. By labeling a woman as an object, men feel as though he is dominant. 

 

Both men and women may need to shift their perspective of manhood. Living in the “man box” causes men to hinder themselves from expressing themselves like women. Men cannot express their emotions like a woman because they would be considered week. 

 

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a good conversation for you all today! Listen more to Ted Bunch now!

“Do people realize that incarceration is Slavery? Incarceration is volunteering for slavery. The 13th amendment abolished slavery… Except Jail! Jail is involuntary servitude–Slavery!”

A father, A son, A walking story.
Born on the streets of Syracuse, NY, Quashawn Blunt shares his amazing story of redemption. Once a soldier of the streets, Blunt explains his different perspective through the eyes of “the King” instead of the eyes of “young Qua.”

“The King compared to Young Qua is like a pastor compared to a gangster,” says Blunt.

As we celebrate Qua’s success, we also have to acknowledge that it was his failures that got him to where he is today. In 2003, the “Boot Camp” gang in Syracuse, New York went down for the RICO law, or racketeering law. Then, in 2009 the 110 Gang was captured for the same thing.

“The broken homes–It had nothing to do with it. If you really think about it, we didn’t have to do what we did. We had other options,” states Blunt.

After serving a couple of years in jail, Blunt accepts what role he played in the Syracuse community. But as a “grown man” as he says, he believes “life is so much more than that.” Blunt is more so focused on the positive things in life such as his music, school, work, and his son. “I’m just trying to get my family out the hood” he stated behind the scenes. “You only have one life to live.”

This young African American man is on a journey and we encourage and support him on his journey. Listen to his story now, and celebrate his accomplishments!

George Kilpatrick Inspiration for the Nation.
Dynamically, passionately, powerfully, are the ways I engage my audience with positive stories of hope, achievement and success. I focus on the grand possibilities of life to encourage my audience to realize that the sky is not the limit, and that there is a universe of opportunity. My voice is an anecdote to the steady stream of negativity that sometimes infuses our culture. As a sought after keynote speaker and facilitator, I have dedicated my life to positively influencing people through my work. This is evident in my multimedia show “New Inspiration for the Nation.” I love finding and sharing success stories from people we feel good about from all walks of life.

I travel the country helping audiences reach their potential. I coach leaders in media, through one of my signature workshops titled, “How to
Use Your Fifteen Minutes of Fame”. My belief is that if we set our sights on hope and belief for all from youth to elders we will positively impact our community.

Whether I am giving a conference keynote address, on a college campus, church, business meeting, or at a faith based institution; my goal is to help celebrate the greatness within each individual. I represent all that has been sacrificed, using each opportunity to elevate, liberate and cultivate. I tap into that hidden unspoken feeling each of us has when our aspirations and work collide to create spectacular results. I believe that each of us can soar, so I create the space where our internal engine finds the combustion to race toward our dreams. It is a product of hard work, enthusiasm, and commitment.

I love sharing the success of my heritage and the legacy of greatness. As a child of the universe, this message resonates with audiences of all ages. I believe that when we expect excellence from our youth for example they deliver, whether it is through literacy and an oratorical program I co-designed, or building sustainable leadership through a community garden.

My message and voice quenches the thirst and hunger for something better, something greater. The New Inspiration for the Nation series of conversations inspires and encourages. I bring knowledge and awareness from people who have already done it, with helpful reminders for those of who are doing it now. I bring insight from some of the greatest minds in the country. My goals are to deliver messages that give you food for thought, and motivation for action.

I celebrate and salute the people we feel good about, and create reverberations of that success for all in the room, to feel the energy of this effort. George Kilpatrick New Inspiration for the Nation is a movement of positive aspiration. Immake your event, or program the most memorable event ever. I am someone you will feel good about, to cultivate, elevate, and lift every voice. Book me for you next occasion, or show.
