We’re pausing our socials in July for Minority Mental Health Month.

Step outside, breathe deep, & ask: How can I step away to step more fully into myself?

We’ll see you in August—rested, renewed, & ready. 💙

On Juneteenth, we honor delayed justice & Black resilience.

Freedom isn’t a moment—it’s a mission.

At CRC Equity, we fight for health equity every day because #BlackHealthMatters.

A man dies from prostate cancer every 3 mins.

Grateful to co-author @gamh.org's call for a global initiative.

This is a crisis of inaction, not awareness.

Men’s experiences—especially Black, Brown, & rural—are too often mined for data, then excluded from healing.

This #MensHealthMonth, let’s shift from shame to strength.

New community-engaged study out now via @sbm.org 's ABM!

At the CRC Equity Foundation, we love all butts—because CRC doesn’t discriminate, and neither do we.

This #PrideMonth, we honor every identity and every body.

Health equity means everyone gets seen, screened, and supported.

Men are dying in silence.

June is #MensHealthMonth — but we don’t need another awareness month.

We need action, accountability, & a revolution in how we show up for men’s lives.

Back in undergrad, I thought I was frugal—but I often bought what I couldn’t afford, chasing what I never had.

Today I ask: am I building my life or performing one for others?

Peace > performance.

Purpose > pressure.

Just back from an intl. talk & was reminded: planes can’t go backward without help.

Same with life—don’t let people or places pull you back.

Turbulence is the price for flying high.

Be a plane, not a car. Your altitude depends on it.

#Leadership #Growth

Remaining quiet won’t exempt you from harm—it only delays the reckoning.

Avoiding the truth doesn’t protect you.

Silence isn’t neutral—it’s a message.

Speak up.

Lead out loud.

Especially when it’s hard.

They were built with purpose.

Family secrets kill.

DNA may load the gun, but silence pulls the trigger.

At #MadeInNC, we broke the silence on CRC in Black communities—because what we don’t talk about keeps taking us.

If your values don’t cost you anything, they’re just hobbies.

Real ones demand sacrifice—comfort, reputation, even income.

What are yours costing you?

Many crave applause, not accountability.

But healing starts in stillness, not the spotlight.

Do you want to be seen—or transformed? Real growth requires surrender.

@sbm.org 👇 You don’t have to change your values or your pursuit of the science that matters. Change your spin.

Selfishness sabotages everything—relationships, teams, finances, futures.

Legacy isn't built through winning alone; it's built through collaboration, humility, & service.

Who are you building for?

Two years ago during Resurrection Weekend, I stood at the Red Sea with my 6-month-old son.

I knew: the battles we fear will never outweigh the God who parts the waters.

It’s resurrection season.

Trust the way being made.

Colorectal cancer is hitting us [Black men] harder, but we do not have to accept it as our fate—when we know our family history, fuel our bodies, & get screened, we shift the odds & rewrite the narrative.

#CRCequity

If tariffs have you wondering what to buy before prices change, here are some quick things to note. 🧵

We don’t always talk about how food can be medicine, especially in Black families. This post is a reminder that healing starts at home — with love, knowledge, & what we put on our plate. 🙌🏾🥬🫐

It takes all of us to make a real difference in #ColorectalCancer equity, especially in communities at greatest risk.

Let’s ask: what are we willing to do to ensure every Black man can live free from fear of colorectal cancer? 💙
