Empowering Black Men

Through Psychological Resilience & Authentic Self-Expression

ICBM workshops are dedicated to the holistic mental health and personal growth of Black men ages 18-60+. We create a culturally affirming space where participants can explore emotional intelligence, psychological resilience, and authentic self-expression while honoring their lived experiences and heritage.

Workshop

The ICBM Workshops are more than a collection of sessions—they are a journey. Beginning with JumpStart: Why Build Now, participants are invited to reflect deeply on the historical and cultural forces that have shaped their lives and begin reengineering their mindset with clarity and intention.

From there, FastBreak: Move Toward Growth dives deeper, unpacking how attachment, environment, and developmental experiences have shaped our patterns of survival—and how healing becomes possible when we name what shaped us.


Finally, EndZone: Advancing the Goal is where vision becomes motion. In this capstone experience, participants build on the foundation of the earlier sessions, harnessing their emotional clarity, creativity, and personal strengths to define legacy, lead with purpose, and craft what has yet to exist.

Rooted in the Culturally Principled Framework of Masculinity (CPFM), this experience reminds us that this is more than just healing. This is reengineering. This is how we build what we’ve never seen—but always needed.

Those who complete all three sessions are welcomed into the ICBM Breakthrough Program—our advanced “inner circle” of builders, leaders, and visionaries. Members receive an exclusive ICBM lapel pin, limited-edition tee shirt, and ongoing access to special events, curated resources, and peer-driven accountability spaces that continue the work long after the workshops end.

Do I have to attend all three sessions?

Each session can stand on its own, but we strongly recommend attending in sequence. The series is designed to build layer by layer for deeper insight, clarity, and growth. We recommend starting with Jumpstart since it lays the foundation for the series. From there, Fastbreak and Endzone dive deeper into core themes for greater impact.

Who can attend these 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.

What do I gain by attending all three sessions?

Participants who complete Jumpstart, Fastbreak, and Endzone receive an ICBM lapel pin, an exclusive tee shirt, and become eligible to apply for membership in the ICBM Breakthrough Program—our inner circle that provides access to special events, additional resources, and ongoing support.

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.

How do these sessions relate to the ICBM Triathlon event?

Our Triathlon Workshop is a separate, full‑day, in‑person experience that combines the full content of Jumpstart, Fastbreak, and Endzone into a single 7‑hour experience. It’s designed for organizations that want a deep, face‑to‑face event that covers the initial ICBM journey.

Can organizations sponsor participants or host private sessions?

Yes! The ICBM Triathlon Workshop can be scheduled as a private, full‑day event with group rates available. Churches, schools, civic organizations, and other community‑focused groups are welcome to bring the complete ICBM Workshop Series experience directly to their members.

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.

At ICBM, we believe Black men deserve spaces where they can be seen, heard, and empowered. Join us on this journey to self-mastery, resilience, and lasting well-being.
