Picture
Want your CHANGE back?

It has been said, that we need change. This is so far from the truth. We need people to be change. Not in the way that sounds pithy or hip. We need Men to talk with other Men about Sexism, White people to talk with other White people about Racism.


We have to break the back of Racism, Sexism and Oppression. The only way we can do this is with Love and Understanding. Blame, Fault and Guilt never move people in a positive direction as a matter fact it actually creates faster, stronger and more effective haters of equity and justice. 

Andre guides these conversations with humilty, honesty and humor. Our purpose is to reconnect people to the Dignity and Honor in Being Human.
