‘Walk with Me’ is a powerful, well researched narrative on how Black men employed their power skills navigating the twin challenges of COVID-19 pandemic, and social injustice. It is the binoculars through which to see and appreciate their humanity and resiliency. – Dr. Ngondi Kamatuka, Executive Director for DEI and Assistant Dean at University of Kansas
​
“Walk with Me” instantly draws you in with compelling stories, accessible research, and powerful lyrics. Matt Kane shines a light on Black men’s resilience and well-being, two areas that are woefully underrepresented in the positive psychology and masculinities literature. – Dr. Brian P. Cole, Associate Professor and Director of Training: Counseling Psychology PhD Program at University of Kansas; Founder Applied Masculinities Positive Psychology Lab
“Walk With Me” brilliantly centers the experiences of Black men unapologetically. Kane intentionally created a brave and healing space for Black men and himself to be and share their experiences with the traumatic realities of racism and whiteness during the COVID-19 pandemic and the strings of killings of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd. This book holds with care, gentleness, courage, vulnerability, and determination of Black men to survive and thrive in a world that fails to affirm the dignity of Black folx. – Christiana Ibilola Awosan, PhD., LMFT: Founder of Ibisanmi Relational Health; Associate Professor and Director of Iona University’s Social Work & Marriage and Family Therapy Program
