The African men's meet-up (The Hague)
A space for African men in the Netherlands to come together and freely discuss issues that matter to them.
The topic for discussion will be "Limiting Beliefs"
An open sharing session where we discuss "limiting beliefs" that are inbuilt in our mindset. Looking back at our younger selves, what did we think or say that limited us in growing or being better today. What would we do better if we had the chance to rewind?
