About MANUP

MANUP Global began as more than just an idea. It was a response to a need, a call to action. Since 2017, we have been on a mission to rewrite the narrative for Black men, transforming obstacles into opportunities and potential into power. What started as a vision has become a movement, a brotherhood rooted in leadership, accountability, and impact.

At the core of MANUP Global is an unshakable commitment to creating spaces where men feel seen, supported, and empowered to rise. This is a revolution in manhood, a movement built on the belief that when men are given the tools, the guidance, and the brotherhood they deserve, they become unstoppable.

Our mission is to promote liberation and empower Black men, families, and urban communities through equity and leadership.

Our vision is to see every Black Man evolve into accountable and sustainable leaders, both in their homes and communities.
