Who is The FLOW?

Since 2005, The Flow (For Love Of The World) has presented a unique dialogue with topics such as "Why Men Fear Love & Committment"; "Sex, Religion & Spirituality"; " Are You Ready For a Relationship?"; etc. The FLOW was developed by Angelo Hunt, Roy Frank and Marc Collins to promote a constructive dialogue between men and women regarding relationships. Flow forums provide a venue where fundamental relationship issues are discussed that go beyond "baby momma drama" so prevalent in the media.

The Flow Advocates:

• The Prime Relationship is with yourself! Having a healthy, loving relationship with yourself is a key to successful relationships.
• We are complete within ourselves. Relationships should enhance who we are not complete us.
• Relationships are experiences that allow us to grow and redefine ourselves, if we choose.
• We are responsible for our choices and consequently our relationship outcomes.

From the dialogue initiated by three men, The FLOW has evolved into a process, an exploration, an interchange of ideas and feelings regarding relationship fundamentals, In the FLOW we seek to go beyond the assumptions, traditions, gender roles, and socially defined frames of reference that, in our opinion get in the way of meaningful relationships.

Terrance A. Layne is the newest addition to the FLOW dialogue. Terrance is the author of The (Black) Barbershop Monologues. This is a book on Black men by Black men. These are Black men, who form the bedrock of Black America, speak quietly yet forcefully about the Black male experience in America and how they survive it. There are no experts, icons or preaching. The beauty of these men's testimony is that they are not based on theory, but rather their experience on how they successfully live and manage their existence in a country that has made that experience challenging, to say the least.
Terrance will be joining The FLOW moderating the 2008 Harlem Book Fair panel discussions.
