We interviewed it founders Jermayne and Jamarr Myers as well as a host of individuals connected with this truly original program paying homage to Black men in all walks of life. BMA is a local grassroots community-building initiative aimed at boldly addressing the incredible challenges facing Black men and young boys in the city of Rochester. Roc BMA strives to meet the needs of Black men and young boys, who experience disproportionately high rates of poverty, family instability, failure in schools, health issues, unemployment, incarceration, and homicide compared to their peers. Through our various events, community forums, public awareness campaigns, workshops, and training; Roc BMA will work to engage, encourage, involve, and empower Black men, youth, and young adults to improve their life outcomes by creating a pathway to success.
