In this Midweeker, held in October 2023, we heard from Francis Owusu from Kutlure Break.

Francis has used his love of dance to stimulate others to build their confidence and self-belief, as it did for him. A child of Ghanaian parents, Francis grew up in Victoria where he endured racism born of ignorance which almost propelled him towards a life of crime.

Moving to Canberra he turned his life around through dance, going on to study finance banking at university by day and exploding on stage by night as a member of the band 925. He has worked with major recording artists Marcia Hines, Jon Stevens, and Guy Sebastian during his career. Driven by a determination to share his good fortune, he organised after-school dance classes for children.

And so, over the past decade, Francis and Kulture Break have performed with thousands of children in schools, community centres, and jails, inspiring and motivating them. For Francis, Kulture Break is a reflection of his belief that life is not characterised by what you have received but what you can give.

Menslink Midweekers are all about discussing the issues facing young guys in the community. Each Midweeker brings together people from all corners of the community: business owners, sportspeople, politicians, community leaders, and community, to share stories and how they’ve been supported throughout their life.

Every Midweeker features a well-known Canberran talking about their life’s journey and the challenges they have overcome to get where they are today.

Midweekers are a great way to hear inspiring stories from Canberran leaders, learn a bit about Menslink and our great work, and meet old and new friends in a friendly setting.

Menslink Midweekers are proudly supported by Lennock Volkswagen
