*Life coach Iyanla Vanzant returns to the “House of Healing” for a three-part, multi-week episode focusing on ‘fixing the broken hearts and spirits of six black men.
The participants include a man attempting to build a life for himself after numerous stints in jail, a former singer who struggles with feelings of abandonment, and a father looking to mend a relationship with his famous socialite daughter. All the men are struggling with their identities due to the effects of feeling criminalized, dehumanized and victimized by society.
In three groundbreaking episodes (October 29, November 5 and November 12), Iyanla will explore each man’s story and reject the narrow parameters society uses to define manhood, and to also help each define themselves in ways that honor their strengths, culture and relationship to society.
