EXPERIENCE
The SUEDE stage sets out to document individuals, moments, and business machinations of the authentic cultural production of a contemporary man. Through engaging storytelling, exclusive events, and a dedicated commitment to quality, SUEDE will foster a community of forward-thinking individuals inspired to elevate their lives, relationships, and personal growth. This stage will serve as the inaugural launch of this initiative, featuring conversations ranging from money to fatherhood, community to creativity, health to travel, and fashion to sports. ESSENCE recognizes the spectrum of Black men expanding their horizons and ascending new heights of solidarity, all in a collegial atmosphere promoting fun, freedom, and fellowship.
