In this episode of Selfed, we recap the Black Men's Emotional Wellness Symposium, a transformative event focused on deconstructing the "high value man" through four key entry points: fitness, spirituality, leadership, and vulnerability.
Dr. Rodrick Stewart led a conversation redefining fitness as more than physical appearance, emphasizing holistic health, nutrition, and stress management to address long-term conditions like hypertension and diabetes.
Breathwork facilitator Ade brought insights into the role of mindfulness and presence, but a disruption cut our time short. Stay tuned for a deeper conversation with Ade in a future episode.
Anthony Toney's session on leadership highlighted the need for safe spaces where Black men can engage in honest, productive dialogue, while noting the real-time consequences of the absence of Black male leadership.
Finally, Mike Joseph explored vulnerability and self-care, challenging the perception of self-care as selfishness. He reminded us that prioritizing personal well-being allows Black men to better support their communities.
Tune in to hear lessons learned, powerful insights, and how we plan to grow these essential conversations for the future.
