GBM BookClub
GBM Book Club is a literary group created by and for us as same-gender-loving men of African descent where we gather to be culturally affirmed and empowered. We focus on the advancement of self-love, social consciousness and critical thinking skills that will not only allow us to overcome, but also transcend the conditions facing our community. We are primarily educated through literature by authors of African descent which recognizes and promote diversity within the African Diaspora.

The Damaged Mind
Dr. Tanenbaum has a string of male clients of color: an ex-gang member, a minister, a man on the down-low and Jiair, a young man dealing with the pressures of having grown up in an abusive home. Each of these men is living with great pain, particularly Jiair, who seems to have had it tougher than the others. After his mother’s death, he finds himself even more in battle with his damaged mind. He seeks revenge on his father, a reverend, the man responsible for his damaged mind. Jiair didn’t go to his father’s church to listen to the sermon; he went home to settle a score.
