Who we Are
The Men’s Domain is the sense of brotherly love coming together to support and uplift each other as brothers.
Our Story
The Men’s Domain was birthed out of director Josiah Obeng’s own personal journey to self-discovery. He grew up in an environment where it was normal for a man to place very little value or importance on emotional expressions. He soon came to the realisation that this was an instrumental element to maintaining and developing a healthy wellbeing and wholeness. Josiah recognised that having the moral and emotional support was, and is, essential to the process of transitioning into adulthood.
Transitioning from a boy to adulthood came with the challenge of having so many unanswered questions and a phase of battling with not knowing how or who to speak to without the fear of being labelled. Feeling vulnerable and understanding that it was a part of being human to sometimes feel vulnerable, came with time and the support of others who had the insight to enlighten him to this reality. He soon found himself, the confidence and wisdom which his experience had taught him.
Through the work that Josiah has done with mentoring both young and adult men, he saw several similarities between the two, poor choices, negative cycles and behaviours which would often manifest themselves in life changing situations. Seeing what could have been himself in many of those he has mentored, Josiah knew that his journey had a purpose. He saw this as a cry for help and felt compelled to do something.
The Men’s Domain was set up to provide insight, and a go to place for young and adult men to get the support they need to develop, discover, re-discover and to grow.
