What up VSBers,
This is just a quick note to let all the folk in the FAMU/Tallahassee area know VSB’s Panama Jackson will be speaking TOMORROW (Thursday) at their FAMU Man Rising conference. He will be on the Forum For Black Men Panel with Dr. Steve Perry, Wale and Enitan Bereola. Peep the details:
If you’re going, or are in the area and wanna meet up with P, hit us up for more info. The event will be livestreamed too! If and when we get the embed code or link, we’ll create a new post (and possibly a chat) here on VSB tomorrow at 7pm EST. Now back to our scheduled post for the day.
Will the event be live-streamed or available on podcast? I won’t be in the area, but I would love to watch/listen.
Hmm, I’m not sure. If I do get some word about it, I will post it on the site tomorrow.Yes it will be livestreamed. if I get the link/embed code in time I will put it on the site tomorrow!
Oh, cool. I’ll definitely tune in. Thanks, Liz!
Thanks, Liz!!
Great! I am definitely interested in listening.
braps! that’s a wicked poster!
i look forward to reading…
I agree, the poster is ill! (is that still a word to say in 2010?
)
Sounds like this is going to be a very positive and much needed event, because we all know good and well that there aren’t nearly enough venues for REAL Black men to converse with each other about the issues they face day to day. God Bless you all.
What time does this event start and what building is it located in? Also, are women encouraged to attend as well?
Everybody is welcome!
I did some research and it’s in the Student Union Grand Ballroom…which doesn’t have an exact street address. The closest a Google Map gets to it is:
1601 S Martin Luther King Jr Blvd
Tallahassee, FL 32310
(it’s two blocks south of this point, see the map)

The Grand Ballroom is located in the midst of FAMU’s campus. You can’t drive through that part of the campus so it’s not technically located on a street. But if you can find your way to the campus someone there should be able to direct you to the Grand Ballroom. Wish I could go.
Just want to give a big THANK U for this website and the insight I have gained over the past several weeks. Just stumbled across it from Essence.com while I was bored and looking for some re-enforcement on my lastest romantic endeavor- that’s for another post.
Panama and Champ you are both delightful and enlighten brothers. Keep up the good work and sh!t……

I have been kilt dead by this graphic, but I cannot wait to see the stream! Kudos to Panama and VSB for all the exposure! You are doing God’s work, kids.
LOL! Yeah this graphic is killin me…
I’m so glad it’s going to be streamed! Thanks for all the info Liz!
You’re welcome! Hopefully I get the stream info in time (I’m flying somewhere at the time of the event
)!
wait. so your name is really panama j? well, then.
lolol.
ruh roh-looks like another internet conspiracy rumor is about to get started here… Liz & Panama= one & the same…BRB-gonna go google this
Im kinda upset…considering i attend FAMU and NEVER saw one flyer on campus..unless they had them posted in only social areas (THE SET)….But i will try to make it.
To get to the that area (depending on where you park) you will have to walk through the heart of the campus and it should be pretty easy to find, considering a good amount of black men SHOULD (active word)…show up…and since im a fan of Wale..and this site..it would be something to attend. Thats whats up tho..
