Alongside  Leah Rose, Media Personality and Marketing Consultant here in The Bahamas Kazi will serve as co-host to facilitate this innovative community forum, which  will include a diverse group of single and committed Bahamian men, age 25 to 45, in varying stages of life, backgrounds and careers.

The 7 Panelists include executive Ed Fields, entrepreneur Brent Mayson, aviation expert Keith  Marcellus  Dean,  artist Sammie Poitier, fitness trainer Freddie Lightbourne, radio personality Kirk Johnson and veterinarian Dr. Kwesi Smith. The men will speak candidly, in this guided conversation, to a  multi-generational  audience of professional women,  answering questions that women have submitted anonymously via Together Apart's website (www.together-apart.com)


Kazi , who was abandoned as baby, grew up in orphanages and foster homes here on the island, and later lived homeless in the streets of Brooklyn, NY. He overcame daunting odds to become a successful entertainer, educator and entrepreneur in The United States.  "With this event series I think about women like my mother, I want to create conversations that can empower and educate single and married women  so that they they have the information, tools and resources to overcome the adversities that destroy families." says Rolle. 

As a way to give back, a  portion of the proceeds of the event will be donated to  the Ranfurly Home For Children.

“Kazi’s, Together Apart is a great concept for bringing folks into the same space for meaningful dialogue around important matters. His commitment to going "deep" is so necessary for our generation. Simply put Together Apart is 'feel good time with substance.” says  Malik Yoba,  award winning actor and star of Tyler Perry’s  Why Did I Get Married Too.

“So often we hear women saying that they want men to communicate more. I love this event because finally we get just that."  Shawna Marie, Psychotherapist & Spiritual Leader 

"Together Apart creates safe spaces for men and women to have open and honest dialogue about relationships. Knowledge is power, and Together Apart is empowering." says  Demetria L. Lucas, author of A --Belle in Brooklyn: The Go-to Girl for Advice on Living Your Best Single Life
