The following description comes from the event organizer.

In this free interactive workshop, community activist and educator Darrell Wade will share how he came to found Black Men’s Wellness, a community-based initiative that addresses health concerns commonly affecting Black and African American men. Co-presented with Christopher Scott, a facilitator with Black Men’s Wellness and creator of the Hip Hop Social Worker podcast, this workshop will offer insights and perspectives on building community-based networks for health, while identifying the ways that collaboration and imagination inform this work.

Through culturally specific, trauma-informed workshops, Black Men’s Wellness engages African American men of all ages to identify and discuss health concerns they are currently experiencing and/or to which they are susceptible. The organization offers curriculum and activities focused on healthy eating and physical fitness to raise awareness, equip participants, and promote strategies for prevention. The project was founded by community activist and educator Darrell Wade, who has over twenty years of experience providing direct services and advocacy centered around racial equity, public health, and wellness for underserved populations and communities of color.
