The C.A.L.L. is a collaborative effort between Dr. Towanna Freeman and 17 male co-authors who worked to create the ground-breaking anthology. Each of the individuals who contributed to the book had a story to tell that was relevant to an entire generation of young Black men. The contributors’ life stories inspire, motivate and connect with young men to empower, create new opportunities and give them hope.

In its February 2016 pre-launch, The C.A.L.L. soared to the #1 spot in three different categories- Cultural Heritage, Inner Child and Leadership.

With the previous and current spate of events involving the victimization of young black men, The C.A.L.L is a very timely resource. Young men, especially those on the threshold of subscribing to the negative stereotypes created by society, are invited to answer The C.A.L.L and step up to their inherent greatness. The one message that Freeman hopes the readers grasp is that they are important and can make a difference.

Recently, we had four co-authors appeared on the show. They were: Dr. Nicholas Dillon, Kevin Johnson, Dr. William L. Howard and Claude McFarlane.

The gentlemen discussed:

– How did they get involved with The C.A.L.L.
– Where they hesitant to share their story and their contribution to the book
– The feeling when they finished their contribution and is there something that they have found out something about themselves that they did not know
– How can young men of color relate to their stories
– Some of the challenges for today’s young men of color
– Their thoughts on the future of young men of color in America
– The impact that The C.A.L.L. has had on them and the impact that they would like to have

THE DR. VIBE SHOW - CATHY TOLLEFSON - DAUGHTER PROJECT CANADA - OCTOBER 27 - 2016

 

In Canada, there is a dark secret that is increasing in rate and intensity. Alongside the war on drugs and weapons, human trafficking is the third most profitable crime in Canada. As the subculture of predators are growing, our girls are more at risk now than ever of becoming victims. Daughter Project Canada is an initiative for the prevention, intervention, and restoration of Canadian girls at risk of sexual exploitation.

Cathy Tollefson is the Coordinator of Daughter Project Canada.

Cathy was on our show to talk about human trafficking and Daughter Project Canada.

- Some of her background including spending time overseas between from nine to thirteen years old
- How did she found out about Daughter Project 
- Her knowledge of modern slavery before she started Daughter Project Canada
- The early days of Daughter Project Canada, what the organization does and some of the challenges
- The seriousness of the sexual traffiking situation in Canada and why there are not more people concerned about and involved with dealing with this issue
- What can men do combat this issue
- Some of the conversations she has had with some of the victims of sexual trafficking
- What is the future of the organization
