In a bid to spotlight the often-overlooked challenges facing boys and young men, The Shine Summit with Kobby Kyei returns with a powerful theme “Boys Lives Matter.”
This edition, scheduled for Friday, November 1 at PRESEC Legon, aims to provide a safe space for dialogue, empowerment, and positive change among the youth.
The Boys Lives Matter movement is a global campaign advocating for emotional, psychological, and social awareness around issues affecting boys from mental health to identity struggles and societal expectations.
It seeks to challenge the silence and stigma that often prevent boys from expressing their pain or seeking help.
As one of Ghana’s leading media voices and change advocates, Kobby Kyei continues to use his platform to inspire and uplift young people through storytelling and impactful events.
Speaking ahead of the summit, he emphasized the need for society to “listen more to boys and create environments where they can thrive without fear or judgment.
The event, powered by Global Ovations, promises engaging discussions, mentorship sessions, and inspiring stories from thought leaders who are passionate about youth development and gender balance.
By bringing the Boys Lives Matter conversation to schools like PRESEC Legon, the summit not only celebrates boys’ potential but also champions their emotional and mental well-being a critical step toward building a more balanced and empathetic society.
