#RYMR7 is the preeminent gathering of cross-sector leaders, she-roes and heroes (“Rumblers”) working to improve life outcomes for Black men and boys. #RYMR7 is a catalytic, invitation-only convening (“coming together”) of iconic Black male achievement sheroes, heroes and leaders who are actively #BuildingAndBattling for the lives of Black men and boys.
CBMA launched RYMR as a convening, not a conference. If you do your pre-RYMR “roadwork”, and fully engage during the Rumble, you will become more connected to the work and others; you will feel compelled to press ahead; and, you will [re-] engage the catalytic energy of Rumblin’ so that you continue to do the work needed to improve conditions for Black men and boys.
Rumblin’ is a lifestyle that begins with CBMA’s RYMR convenings, then extends far beyond. At #RYMR7, you will join over 200 other local, national and international Black male achievement leaders, eager to connect, be compelled, and continue catalyzing work that ensures Black men and boys are seen and treated as promises and possibilities. Get ready to reflect, recharge and Rumble!
IMPORTANT INFO
The official RYMR agenda will be distributed Thursday November 30, but you’ll find info you need below. Please pay close attention to the times, links and locations below. Rumbles run on time, and Rumblers are prompt – all times indicated are EDT:
