In the aftermath of Rodney King's assault by police officers in the 90s and his attackers' subsequent acquittal, Ian Rowe and Nique Fajors grew weary of a public narrative proclaiming that black men in America were doomed to failure under an oppressive system. A feeling of invisibleness struck both Ian and Nique who were then Harvard Business School classmates as the stories of men like them became increasingly ignored in the public eye. So they launched \u201cThe Invisible Men,\u201d a documentary telling the stories of amazing black men at Harvard University who achieved success by leaning on the core principles of family, faith, free enterprise, and entrepreneurship.

Today, Ian and Nique have resurrected \u201cThe Invisible Men\u201d as a video podcast. In their inaugural episode, Ian and Nique share their inspiration behind launching \u201cThe Invisible Men\u201d documentary in the 90s and discuss why\u201430 years later\u2014their message of agency and empowerment is needed more than ever.

Integral to the story of \u201cThe Invisible Men\u201d is \u201cDarryl,\u201d a 16 year-old black teenager Ian and Nique imagined in the original documentary, who lives in the urban city of Forgotten, USA and desires to build a better life for himself but sometimes feels that success is out of his reach. Ian and Nique asked each of the men in their original documentary to advise \u201cDarryl\u201d on how he can forge a path to excellence and empowerment. Join Ian and Nique today for episodes of \u201cThe Invisible Men\u201d every week as they hear the stories of incredible men and learn what advice they have for \u201cDarryl\u201d in 2020!
