The Men's Empowerment Meeting is Friday at Jung Hotel at 9 a.m.

Organizers tell us there will be at least four panels focusing on different topics that particularly impact men in New Orleans. One focuses on health, another on wealth. There are also panels like 'Solutions Not Problems' and 'Real Talk Panel' to bridge the gap between boys and men.
