Catherine Buccello (@retrobarbie92) is a content creator, event curator, and social justice advocate based in Queens, New York. Through her commitment to actualizing a thriving Black community, Buccello found a critical need for mental health resources accessible to Black men. It was while on a Mental Health panel for Curated Vibes Group and DazeSummit that the idea began to form. A friend leaned over and said, “I see a lot of focus on mental health these days, but the focus is dominantly on black women, what about the men? Black men cry too…” This inequity incited her to launch BlackMenCryToo, documenting the Black male experience through conversations, community, and support. Known for her vibrant bright hair and outlandish personality, Catherine is committed to diversifying corporate communities and advocating for self-expression. If she’s not creating space, she’s dancing, traveling, or ordering something dark at the bar.
