#BlackMenBeyondBorders
#BlackMenBeyondBorders is a social campaign to showcase and celebrate Black men who redefine the global narrative. We want to highlight not just Black men's ability to traverse borders but also their leadership, resilience, and impact on our world.
#BlackMenBeyondBorders is about embracing possibilities for Black men. It’s about courage, confidence, and leaping into the unknown to discover a whole world full of opportunity. It's about breaking out of our comfort zones to see all the potential of what could be. #BlackMenBeyondBorders is about changing the world by opening young men up to the world. It’s about finding ourselves and finding the chance to become more than we ever thought possible.

Throughout July 2021, we’ll be featuring:
- Black men who redefine the global narrative
- Virtual Conversations with LFW Alumni
- Facts and tips for study abroad and international learning experiences
- Video submissions from Black men telling us how they are redefining the global narrative
One of the best ways to open up the world for young Black men is by bringing the opportunity of exploring the world to them. The goal of LFW's work is not just international travel, but to build global leaders. We start by improving the academic performance of Black men, post-graduation employment prospects, school tiers to employers, and alumni relations, and lowering attrition rates and enhancing class discussion through an international lens. From there, we strive to build a Global Leadership Pipeline that increases diversity and inclusion in global leadership, provide career development and readiness on a worldwide scale, create opportunities for international leadership development, and increase opportunities for networking and global exchange.
