The "CLIC-N-CUTZ" Barbershop Series by M-CLIC (10/29/26)
Men of Color Leading & Investing in Community (M-CLIC) presents: "The CLIC-N-CUTZ" Barbershop Series!
Topic: “Give Yourself a Hand: Is Perception Reality?”
Featuring Special Guest: Mr. Charles “Chaz” Mack Phillips, Jr., PhD Candidate, Global Educator, and Teacher Educator
Join other men of color for an engaging and reflective workshop exploring how identity, experience, and social perceptions shape the ways we understand ourselves. Participants will examine how they see themselves, how they believe others see them, where those views come from, and how much value they choose to give them. Through meaningful discussion and reflection, participants will develop practical sense-making and meaning-making tools to better understand their experiences, challenge assumptions, and shape more intentional and empowering perspectives. Come ready to reflect, connect, and give yourself a hand in shaping your own story.
