“Being in a room full of young black men, really did fuel the creativeness within me again, it made me trust my own creative process where I didn’t feel like I had to match other people’s experiences. It created a sense of freedom. I’m really excited for where Trybe House is gonna go.” 

Its been a long time coming just to be a room with young black men and hopefully it just grows and grows with even more black men in big spaces like the Royal Court and beyond.I haven’t written in a while, but that week allowed me to play with so many ideas which has made me want to get back into my theatre making again. So many tools were brought in and we were given the opportunity to just play.” Tyreke Leslie

Personal skills I’ve gained were teamwork & speaking confidence about my ideas and consistency in giving a 100% in every lesson.Trybe house has helped my mental well being by having  an open support system. Where we can talk and speak about our ideas and thoughts and feelings freely without judgement I’m very thankful for this brotherhood.

Being apart of Trybe House has enabled me to delve deeper into an industry that I am really passionate about and learn more about it, whilst also having the opportunity to link up with like minded individuals that carry the same interests as me.

It has made me more confident in my acting abilities and more certain on where I want to go in my career as Trybe has helped guide me.

Trybe house has helped me expand my imagination, my creativity is sparked when I’m with Trybe house, I find it very inspiring seeing my peers at Trybe house and the greatness they are capable of. Trybe house has helped improve my confidence in acting and learn on how I can improve my skills. My social skills have developed to where I am very excited to meet new people. 

Trybe house has improved my mental health, it has given me a comfortable space to be in to share how I am feeling with others and has helped me realise that I am not alone in this world, I feel that I have found a new community where I have made some good friends and made great memories. It’s nice to have Trybe house by my side as an act of support also. Being with Trybe house has given me a new finding in life which I am truly grateful for.

Gained the ability to articulate my thoughts and feelings in a healthy creative manner while also building my storytelling ability. Trybe House has increased my teaming skills and the ability to empathise with the lives experiences of the others in the group. As well as that, the activities in sessions have helped build my confidence and effective communication skills (such as active listening and public speaking)

Trybe House has been a great space to be communicate openly and honestly about the goings on in my day to day life. It’s worked wonders for my mental well-being as I can often turn up to sessions feeling somewhat heavy and leave feeling refreshed and lightened. Philip and the rest of the team have cultivated a unique space for the brothers to come down and be unapologetically ourselves – a luxury we’re not often afforded in society.

From Trybe House, the skill I gained was being able to unapologetically be myself and not worry about being more or indifferent to anyone. It’s allowed me to find new connections within the group and to bond with things I never thought I’ll find a bond with, whether it be physical, acting related or mental. 

Trybe House has greatly improved my well being mentally and I’ve been able to understand mentally what is going on through a man’s mind, without feeling guilt or dumb about my experience, even if I don’t share them publicly.

I’ve gained better communication skills within my own ethnic community. Trybe has helped me work on my confidence in a large space, especially with other black men .Mentally trybe’s put me in a better place, looking forward to the days ahead because I’m apart of something creative

Since joining Trybe I have developed an innate level of trust and ease to be vulnerable and comfortable in a room full of strangers, I have been able to keep my guard down and be open to like minded young men. I have also then developed the skills in free writing lyrics and words that express what is going on in and around me.

My experience with Trybe House has positively impacted my mental well being in that I actually care enough and check in with myself better. I have valuable control over myself and my emotions and now understand the need to look after myself and mental well being better.

Trybe has made me a lot more confident in myself and my ability in acting has helped me hone and expand my communication and listening skills which has made me more of an active listener and effective communicator so i can tell people what i need help with and take their advice onboard and effectively implement those skills into my daily life

Being a part of Trybe House as done a lot for me mentally initially coming into the acting industry i thought there was only a small part of the industry for people like me however after being introduced to Trybe they’ve shown me that there’s a whole community of us just trying to navigate the industry and learning as we go along and Trybe gives us the space and opportunity to share and express those ideas and help one another to reach our goals not only in acting but in life
