ICBM JumpStart: Why Build Now

You’re not broken—we’re just here to remind you of who you are.

90 Min Session - online via Zoom

JumpStart: Why Build Now

This 90-minute introduction sets the foundation for the ICBM Workshop Series with a focused, powerful look at how Black men and their allies can begin re-engineering their lives. It explores the historical, social, and cultural disruptions—such as intergenerational trauma, systemic shifts, and outdated models of masculinity—that have shaped Black male identity.

Rooted in CPFM, Jumpstart invites participants to begin releasing inherited burdens and confusion that no longer serve us. Through truthful dialogue, cultural reflection, and collective insight, this session opens the door to new possibilities of strength, healing, and leadership.

You’re not broken—we’re just here to remind you of who you are.
By upgrading your mindset and reclaiming your personal fidelity, clarity, and purpose, this session clears a path for deeper autonomy, stronger brotherhood, and a powerful future built with intention and truth.

This is the call to begin building what has yet to exist.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the session held?
Jumpstart is held on the first Wednesday of each month and runs for 60 minutes.
Who can attend these sessions?

ICBM FastBreak is designed for Black men who are ready to heal, grow, and lead with clarity and purpose. It also welcomes women and allies who support Black men’s wellness and want to better understand the cultural, emotional, and systemic factors that shape their mental health.

Do I need to attend both sessions?

These sessions are centered on the experiences of Black men, but women are welcome and encouraged to attend. Their participation offers valuable perspective and fosters a deeper understanding of the obstacles men face in the broader society. Men are defined by the communities that nurture and embrace them.

Can I attend more than once?

Yes! Many participants choose to revisit sessions to deepen their learning and strengthen their growth over time.

What will I take away from this experience? 

You’ll leave with more than just concepts. Expect a clearer sense of self, renewed energy, and practical tools to move through life with purpose and intention. Most importantly, you’ll connect with a community of brothers committed to creating what doesn’t yet exist.

Are these sessions in person or online?

All sessions are held online via Zoom, making them easy to join from anywhere. Links and access details are sent after registration.

Do I need any prior preparation or materials?

No special preparation is needed. We recommend having a notebook or journal ready for reflections and any prompts shared during the sessions.

Are these sessions interactive or lecture style?

They are highly interactive. Each session includes teaching moments, live polls, breakout conversations, and reflection prompts to keep participants actively engaged.

Can I register for more than one session at a time?

Yes! You can register for Jumpstart, Fastbreak, and Endzone individually or secure your spot for all three at once.

What if I can’t attend live—will recordings be available?

No recordings are available. Each session is designed to be experienced live to maintain confidentiality, engagement, and the integrity of group interaction.

Is there a cost to attend?

Each session has its own registration fee listed on the Eventbrite page. Discounts may be available when registering for all three sessions.

What kind of support is available between sessions?

Participants receive follow‑up materials, reflection prompts, and optional resources to continue their growth between sessions.

Is this group therapy?

No. These sessions are workshops, not therapy. They are educational and transformative experiences that provide tools, insights, and guided reflection—not clinical counseling or mental health treatment.

Will my image or likeness be used in ICBM materials?

We may capture screenshots or short video clips during sessions for use in future ICBM promotional materials—such as our website, brochures, or social media. A release form will be provided for you to review and sign before any likeness is used. If you prefer not to be included, you can opt out on the form and your image will not be used.
