My First Kings Korner Meeting
Finding Community at Kings Korner I recently attended my first King Korner meeting, and it was exactly what I didn’t know I needed. Kings Korner is a gathering space for young Black Men to come together in authentic community. We shared our wins and celebrated each other’s victories, checked in on our physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing, and opened up about the areas where we need support. The vulnerability in the room was powerful—brothers being real about their struggles and their triumphs. What struck me most was the genuine connection. I met so many incredible people, each bringing their own story and energy to the space. In years past, I would have kept to myself, stayed in my comfort zone, and missed out on this entirely. But 2026 I am saying yes to new things, making myself available to experiences and connections I might have previously avoided. This meeting reminded me how essential community is. We’re not meant to navigate life’s challenges alone or celebrate our wins in isolation. Kings Korner created a space where Black Men can be fully seen, supported, and encouraged—something rare and invaluable. I’m grateful I showed up. Sometimes the things we need most are waiting just outside our comfort zone.
