Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

[Juliette Grimmett <>]

Hello all -

As folks are thinking about their SAAM programming, I wanted to remind you of a wonderful and FREE programming idea:

My partner, Marc Grimmett, co-directed and co-produced a wonderful documentary film, MY MASCULINITY HELPS, (see blurb below).  The film was created with partial funding from DOJ and NCCASA. It is available to stream for free and also has a free downloadable facilitation guide. The film itself is 34 minutes so leaves a good amount of time for thoughtful Q&A. 

BLURB:

MY MASCULINITY HELPS explores the role of African American men and boys in the prevention of sexual violence.  It shows African American male allies (psychologist, professor, peer educator, attorney, pastor, college athlete, middle and high school students, activist) demonstrating understanding and support for survivors of sexual violence.  Strategies for assistance and prevention are provided.  Survivors also share their stories and what has helped them.  The film serves as a counter-narrative to often inaccurate and misleading portrayals of African American masculinity.  Our goal is to engage boys and men in the deconstruction of gender roles, masculinity, and power and in the prevention of sexual violence.  It can be used in schools, colleges, and athletic, professional, community, and faith-based organizations.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you,

Juliette
