KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaica-based media firm Emerge Multimedia Limited is launching a groundbreaking, holistic men’s empowerment gathering, the When Lions Roar Men’s Conference, set to kick off on April 25, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. at The Summit, located in the heart of New Kingston. The event is designed to bring together skilled men from across all professional sectors to create a supportive space dedicated to renewal and collective uplift for attendees.
The conference agenda covers a wide range of critical topics that many men rarely get to explore in safe, community-focused settings: mental wellness, intentional leadership, personal self-mastery, spiritual identity, intimate relationships, family dynamics, financial literacy, and entrepreneurial growth. The overarching mission of the gathering is to rebuild a cultural framework where men feel empowered to show up as reliable, productive contributors to their communities and families.
Travis Muschett, founder of the conference and chief executive officer of Emerge Multimedia Limited, shared that the idea for When Lions Roar grew out of a deeply personal moment of struggle. Just weeks before announcing the event, Muschett found himself in a period of low emotional and mental state, which led him to a stark observation: there is a critical lack of dedicated, judgment-free spaces for men to process challenges, recharge, and reconnect with their purpose.
“After that realization, I made the decision to build the space I wished I had,” Muschett explained. “This is a place where men can be rejuvenated, rediscover their core purpose, and reclaim that sense of drive that makes them feel alive. When men truly understand who they are meant to be, and step into the roles of priests, prophets, providers, and protectors they were created to fill, they don’t just change the lives around them — they transform entire nations.”
When Lions Roar will feature 13 accomplished speakers and panelists drawn from diverse backgrounds: Fortune 500-aligned corporate leaders, long-time fathers, successful small business owners, licensed mental health counselors, devoted husbands, community mentors, and respected faith leaders. Attendees can expect a full day of thoughtful discussion, peer-to-peer networking, and growth across every area of life. Confirmed featured speakers include Lloyd Richardson, Wealth Advisor and National Commercial Bank Branch Manager; Ambassador Jamar Wright of Mindfood International Limited; award-winning gospel recording artist Johnmark Wiggan; licensed counselor and social worker David Taylor; and veteran gospel leader Dr Rondell Positive. Muschett will serve as the conference’s lead facilitator for the day.
While this will be the inaugural staging of the event, Muschett noted that his long-term vision extends far beyond a one-day gathering. He hopes to grow When Lions Roar into a sustained movement that reminds every man of his inherent value, importance, and necessity in his family and community. “I want every person who walks through the door to leave with a clearer understanding of who God created them to be, and the unique role they are meant to fill in the world,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if you are a husband, father, student, or just starting out on your journey: this space is for you. Invest in your growth, and keep moving forward.”
Additional guest contributors and worshippers joining the event include Jovane Blagrove, Love 101 FM radio broadcaster Jucal Dyer, Pastor Michael Taylor, Dexter Johnson Jnr, Aston Desgouttes, Pastor Kavan Allen, Anthony Welsh, Bishop Phillip Johnson, Pastor Sean Williams, and Pastor Tevaun Brown.
