ICBM FastBreak: Move Toward Growth

ICBM Fastbreak is the heart of the ICBM Midweek Workshop Series—designed to help Black men and their allies move beyond survival and into intentional growth. Building on the foundation laid in Jumpstart, we dive deeper into the hidden architecture of who we’ve become—and who we still can be.

In this session, participants are introduced to three core areas:

Attachment – Our earliest connections shape our ability to trust, feel safe, and show up fully in relationships and feel emotionally safe. How childhood relationships, loss, or neglect may influence how we connect today—and how healing begins with awareness and reflection.

Environment – The social, cultural, and physical spaces we grew up in continue to influence our habits, mindset, and sense of possibility. How do these spaces we occupy shape our sense of self, and social conditions, train our minds for survival, and echo in the choices of how we show up emotionally.

Development – Our personal and collective histories affect the way we mature, cope, and navigate transitions across life stages, shaping our foundational beliefs. We look at how identity, masculinity, and emotional habits develop over time, and how to interrupt what no longer serves us while preserving what empowers and strengthens us.

Through storytelling, small group dialogue, guided reflection, and culturally grounded frameworks, Fastbreak helps participants reframe old narratives, reconnect to their emotional center, and begin reengineering their sense of purpose and identity.

Again, we’re not here to fix you—just to remind you of who you are and who you are becoming. Whether you’re confronting generational wounds or looking to create new patterns of growth, Fastbreak is where transformation begins.
