"ProjectDBGM is a three-in-one
project: a book, currently being
written, in which Black gay men
share stories of their struggle and
suffering with depression; a
documentary "You Are
Not Alone", in which Black
gay men are breaking a taboo and
speaking out about their depression,
how they coped and survived; and
community discussion forums which
serve to raise awareness of
depression in Black gay men who are
empowered to rebuild their self
esteem, boot their confidence and
develop trust, to reach out for
help, so as to heal, realize and
achieve his potential in life.
A Black gay man dealing with
depression should know that it is
treatable and he need not suffer in
silence; he is not alone."
