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!

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.

If the job market’s on pause, press play on your dreams.

This stillness may be your setup.

You've got one life.
Don’t wait for approval from others.

Build what’s true, healthy & free.

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.

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.

#KeepGoing — the roots you’re planting are deeper than you can see.

The pyramids weren’t built for applause.
They were built with purpose.

Your quiet work matters.
Legacy takes time.

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.

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.

Today is #DressInBlueDay! 💙

We honor Vanessa Ghigliotty & Shannon Lee-Sin, who faced colorectal cancer at just 33 & 31 years old.

Their stories remind us that CRC isn’t just an “old person’s” disease—it can happen to anyone, at any age.

Know the signs, get screened, & spread awareness! #CRCequity
