With thousands of people already displaced, the ongoing dismantling of the community serves as a constant reminder that their only home is literally being ripped apart without much explanation or rationale. Through a series of compelling monologues and authentic narratives mixed with musical interludes, Secrets Of A Black Boy critically explores the underlying effects of common stereotypes faced by racialized men and delves into several controversial issues. .
