In My Shoes is an interactive community walking tour project curated and facilitated by the community ambassadors of Word is Bond. The project features walking tours in neighborhoods across. The tours are designed to highlight the voices, dreams, and experiences of rising Black men as well as the neighborhoods in which they live. Through personal stories, music, and poetry, tours address topics of race, class, community investment, gentrification, community safety, and equity.

You’re invited to come listen, learn, and reflect on the stories of young Black men that are not often told or listened to

In addition to our In My Shoes project which happens annually in February in celebration of Black History Month, we host a 5K community tour that takes place in September, and private tours can be scheduled throughout the year on a sliding payscale for organizations and businesses.
