The Heart of a Black Man: Volume 2

An Anthology of Healing, Hope, and Legacy

Share Your Story and Help Heal a Generation

 For generations, Black men have carried the weight of silence, pushing through trauma, systemic barriers, and emotional pain without a safe space to unpack it all. The Heart of a Black Man: Volume 2 is more than a book. It’s a movement of healing, truth, and transformation.

This powerful anthology invites Black men from all walks of life to share authentic stories of triumph, resilience, and purpose, uplifting others and reclaiming their legacy through strength and inspiration.

🔥 This Time, We're Going Deeper🔥

Volume 1 was a huge success. Volume 2 will be unforgettable.

In this edition, authors will be guided through a proven writing process to help them craft powerful, heartfelt chapters. We’re not just telling stories, we’re building bridges to healing.

 

Volume 2 of The Heart of a Black Man is calling Black men who are ready to speak from the heart, heal from the past, and make their mark as published authors in a bestselling series.

The best part of being part of an anthology is that you get to enjoy the benefits of a published author without having to write the whole book.

You're only responsible for one chapter of 1,000 words. Don't worry: We’ll be there to help you from start to finish with group writing sessions.
