Health Liberation for Black Communities

Do you believe health is wealth? Kwame Terra is a health revolutionary and the founder of bEHR Health, a company fighting to close the life expectancy gap in Black communities. Blending his roots as a record-breaking endurance athlete with a public health and equity lens, Kwame is building the first universal Black Electronic Health Record — technology, culture, and community designed to put power back in the hands of the people. His mission is simple but radical: to make health liberation the new standard. 

Kwame recently made international headlines by shattering the record for most steps in 30 days—over 2 million verified, which is enough to walk the entire Gulf Coast. He did it to spark attention for bEHR Health’s upcoming app, designed to make health a core part of Black culture and everyday life. Kwame brings a unique perspective as a plant-based eater for the last ten years, endurance athlete, and a public health innovator. His approach fuses grassroots community insight with digital health tech, helping people measure and improve their health with culturally resonant tools.

The next big vision? Leading October’s bEHRATHON, aiming for one million people walking and running on the same day using the app—a community-powered, record-breaking event that doubles as a wellness data initiative.

Speaker 5 (02:13):
Welcome to Just Minding My Business Media. I am happy
that you joined us today and I am so honored
to bring to Just Minding My Business Media. Kwame Terra,
who is a health revolutionary and the founder of Bare Health,
a company fighting to close the life expectancy gap and

(02:35):
black communities. Blending his roots as a record breaking endurance
athlete with a public health and equity lens, Kwami is
building the first universal black electronic health record, technology, culture
and communities. Gee to John, to put power back in

(02:57):
the hands of the people. His mission is simple, but radom,
to make health liberation the news standard.

Speaker 6 (03:05):
Wow, Welcome, Welcome, Thank you for having me absolutely, because
I mean, health is so critical and having those good
habits is so important.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
So tell us what beare health is doing?

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, I mean it's a really good question, because every
day I'm learning what Bare Health is doing as I'm
learning how to solve this problem. You know, what makes
the start up a startup is that you still are
trying to solve a problem and you don't necessarily have
the answer, but you go out there and you talk
to as many people as you possibly can who are
dealing with that problem, and then test solutions and ideas

(03:50):
to solve it, and some work, some don't, you lean
into some, you modify others. And I think that's really
what bear what is ultimately going to make or Health special,
and what makes any startup successful is that you do
a better job of talking to more people with the
problem that you're trying to solve than anyone else, and
you test more solutions against those problems than anyone else.

(04:13):
And the problem that we're trying to solve is that
life expectancy gap between Black people and the rest of
the population. At least at first, I'm actually not that
interested in how we compare to the rest of the population,
more interested in what it will take and what it
looks like when we reach our full potential as a community.

(04:33):
And so that's why our mission is really maximizing black health,
not necessarily just to achieve health equity, right, So they
were at the same level as everyone else, And I
just want to know what our potential is and so
that's really what we are aiming at. How we do
that currently is through a technology platform where we give

(04:55):
individuals a health score, so kind of like your credits
for but for your health and your school or changes
in real time depending on how you change. So if
you go on a run or a walk one day,
your score goes up a few points. If you get
two or three hours of sleep one night, your score
goes down. And then based on those changes, we make
recommendations for how you can improve, as well as connect
people with health care providers, resources and experiences to help

(05:17):
them elevate their health. What I'm really trying to do
with the score and the app is help people draw
the connection between their lifestyle habits and their current health risks.
Because while I think we know that we're not doing great,
we know that we should be exercising more, we know
that we should be eating better. I don't think that
we're really drawing the connection between our lifestyles and the

(05:40):
risk and how significant those risks are. Because it's not
just Okay, you might develop type two diabetes layer No,
you might have a heart attack at forty seven and
that'll be it. And that's unacceptable, especially because it's something
that we know how to prevent. And so yeah, just
kind of not budging on that idea and not allowing

(06:01):
it to be normalized, not allowing disease to be normalized
in our community.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Absolutely, I am just loving all of that because.

Speaker 5 (06:10):
You know, and unfortunately in the African American communities, the
food is just not there, the healthy foods, you know,
and a lot of times people don't have the transportation
and things like that to get to the healthy foods.

(06:33):
So with exercise, and I mean that's a whole other
topic about the food, but the exercise piece is so
important because as a Black community, we know, like you mentioned,
we know that we have a high risk of diabetes

(06:53):
y pressure. It's almost like we just said, except mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
I think a part of the problem there is that
when you go to the doctor and they and you
you know, you're in there because you maybe had a
a scare with hypertension or scare with type two diabetes.
And then one of the first things that they tell
you is that you know it runs in your family,
and therefore, like you know, that's probably part of why

(07:24):
or that's why you develop the condition. And I think
that that can be so misleading. It's something to share
with the patient without significant context, because while many of
us are and most of us are literate, we're not
all health literate. And to hear someone say that it's
hereditary to most of us, that just means that means
that there's nothing we could have done. You see what

(07:44):
I'm saying, There's nothing we could have done to prevent
this from happening. That's really what hereditary typically means in
our minds. But when it comes to something like type
two diabetes, hypertension, even many cancers, just because your parents
had it doesn't mean that you will develop it. You
you may be predisposed, meaning that it in the right conditions,

(08:05):
you are more likely to develop the condition. But if
you live a healthy lifestyle for your entire life and
you have a predisposition to type two diabetes or predisposition
the hypertension, you probably won't develop the condition even if
your parents. Now, if you if you live, if you
live the same lifestyle and eat the same foods and
and don't exercise in all these things. And yeah, you

(08:26):
will develop condition if you if you live the standard
American way, you will develop You will develop these conditions,
especially if you're predisposed. But just because it's common doesn't
mean it's normal, and it shouldn't be this way. My
grandfather's eighty seven years old, doesn't have a single chronic
health condition. But he also eats really well, he moves
his body every single day and he's been doing that

(08:47):
for a significant part of his life. And that's just
that's just what it takes. And so and what our
word trying to do at Bear is really make it
to where this is just a part of our culture,
not necessarily something extra that you you have to do,
like habits that you have to develop. No, this is
the foundation of our culture is health, so that we
can maximize our potential.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
Yeah, so tell us a little bit about how the
app work.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Yeah, So when somebody first learns about bare Health, they'll
download the app and they'll be asked about fifteen questions
initially to kind of calculate their health score. And so again,
their score is going to be a number between zero
and one thousand that represents your overall health. It'll be
based on over one hundred different health metrics total in total,

(09:34):
although again we'll initially just get about fifteen data points,
and that score will change day to day, week to week,
depending on how you change. Again, so if you go
on a run or a walk one day, your score
will go up a few points, but if you're inactive
for a week, you'll start to see knocks on your score.
And we have seven different categories, so it's physical activity, nutrition, mindfulness, sleep,

(09:56):
mental wellbeing, physical health, or medical health, which is where
you add your blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose things like that,
and self control or your indulgence score, so you know
how much food are you consuming, how much you know
alcohol or caffeine things like that are you consuming, and
all of this goes into your score, and each month
we ask users to update their scores. So some of

(10:16):
the data points are updated automatically, such as your activity
or your sleep and things like that, but other aspects
need to be updated manually, like within our app, your
nutrition or your mental well being score, where we're asking
people about you know, how they're feeling overall about their
health and their life. And so I think that that's

(10:37):
really a comprehensive way of looking at health. But it
simplifies all of the complexities of health into a singular
score that people can really wrap their minds around. And yeah,
that's essentially the experience. And then from there you find
experiences that you can go to such as run club
or walk club, metifs or yoga sessions or what else?

(10:57):
Do we do different challenges in the apps of steps
challenges a big deal in the app. Sixty four year
old woman did one million steps in the app last
month and she's on track to do it again this month.
And that's just like now becoming a part of this culture,
part of this community of people who are on this
same journey, and so it makes it a bit easier
for you to stick to it.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
I love it. I love it. So how do people
get the app?

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Yeah, so right now our beta app is live and
you can go to the app store download dakkadoo d
A C A d oo and use access code minded
my Business.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
We can go with that for is that what you
just minded my business?

Speaker 3 (11:37):
Just minded my business. We'll do the access code just
minded my business and all lowercase all one word. That'll
get you into the app, you'll answer some questions, you know,
add your height, weight, things like that, create your account,
and then you'll be in the app and you'll receive
push notifications throughout the day, you know, different prompts to
recommend that you either complete this Healthcore assessment or you

(12:01):
join this challenge and then just participate in you know, again,
it goes to make this part of the culture, not
necessarily just to look at this as a tool that
can help you with your health, Like I want this
to be endemic to the Black community, something that is
again just a part of our culture. Everybody knows their
health score. And then as we roll out different interventions

(12:22):
and different challenges and you know, change infrastructure and roll
a lot of different policies, we can see on a
monthly basis what the community health trends are looking like.
So we can know what policies are working, what policies aren't,
what interventions are working, which ones aren't, so we continue
to invest in that which is working and divest from
that that which isn't and have the data to back
it up.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
Yes, yes, that's so important. Now let me just ask
you a question. Okay, when people first embrace the idea
of healthier, of a healthier lifestyle. It takes time before
it gets into the DNA speak. So do you incorporate
like accountability partners or recommend that kind of thing until

(13:09):
people are able to do it on their own.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Yeah? Yeah, I mean in a sense, that's that's what
we're trying to function as. So beare health Our brand
promises to be your health partner for life, right, So
first you come in and you become aware of your
health status through your health sport. So now what again,
we have kind of like suggestions for people to do

(13:33):
or you know, community challenges for people to join, and
that helps and that that's enough for some people. But
we also host in person events right where people can
come connect with other people, such as again run club
meetups or walk club meetups or yoga sessions, and these
really really I think are becoming the glue for people

(13:54):
to stay accountable on their journey. You know, I always
talk when people ask me like, what does it take
to be healthy and make it stick for you? Yeah?
First and foremost, you do have to have some general
desire to be healthy. You have to have some broad
general objective of improving your health or want to wanted
to run more, for example, So you have to have
that like we can't. I mean, we can make people healthy,

(14:17):
but it changes the entire environment, but that that takes
a lot of investment. But if we can leverage someone's
objective or in their their internal motivation, that that's going
to be useless. And I think that most people carry
that on some level, like people would rather be healthy
than not, right, And so I think that that's a
good place to start.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
And then the.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
Second place is you need some sort of time bound
measure of whatever you're objective to test your objective. Right,
So if you're trying to run more, you need to
sign up for a five k in three months, Or
if you're trying to eat better, you need to or
if you're trying to cook healthier, right, you need to
maybe plan a dinner for your your family or for

(14:59):
your community, and you're going to cook plant based meals
for foreverything. So you say you want to do this,
and three months later, now you're cooking a meal for everybody.
You need you need some sort of like tests, and
then you need a community of people to do it with. Right.
I think this is honestly the most important part of it.
And really the real hack to solving any type of
personal growth or personal development challenge that you may have

(15:20):
for yourself if you can just get around other people
who are already on that type of time, people who
are already on that path or who are already there
right and then naturally, by being around them, you kind
of borrow from their energy, you borrow from their perspective,
and you almost feel obligated to become that just to
be around them. And that's really what we try to
do is help people understand their current health status, help

(15:43):
them understand the importance of developing this objective, and then
get them connected with the community that's already doing it.
And that is the solution, that's the product, and then
our app is just really there to make sure that
we're tracking the changes collectively over time.

Speaker 6 (15:57):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (15:57):
Absolutely, And one of the things I heard you mentioned
was the community getting together with the community. Now, let
me just says, do you have people, as a result
of using your ad created little communities within their community
to help, you know, people move forward with whatever it

(16:21):
is they need to address.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know all of the ones
that have been community created as a result. I'm sure
there are are some that have been created. I know
that there's a run club that I managed here in
the city that absolutely has done that within within our
own kind of little area. And yeah, and I think
that that's what needs to happen, right, because the broad

(16:47):
technology that we have with you know, thousands of users
on the platform is one environment and curates and motivates
people in in one way or another. But I think
these tight knit small groups that people gravitate toward or
ultimately will be the glue that and then the focus
of the intervention, right, the app again will be a

(17:08):
background feature. This is how we connected. The very event
was how we connected. But then the real the real
solution is is in the community and the development of
the village where people support one another. But it's all
rooted in health, right. The foundation of it is in
health because you know, villages develop in a variety of

(17:29):
ways through connecting on a variety of things, but typically
those things aren't necessarily health promoting. Right. There may be
social clubs, right, which you know, the foundation of social
clubs in a lot of ways is alcoholic food. You know,
food that's killing us for the most part. And in

(17:49):
a sense, they got part of it right, which is
the social club it needs to be. Like, we're social people.
We love we love being around one another, and we
like connecting, and in fact, we need it. It's not
even just something that we like, we absolutely need it.
And what we're proving out right now is that there
can be something else at the foundation of it all.

(18:12):
The same thing happens right, people connect, people bond, people
develop villages, people support each other. But instead of it
being rooted in again something that's not necessarily help promoting,
it's rooted in things that are helped promoting. Because what
you know, no matter what happens throughout the week, within

(18:32):
the run club community, everybody's going to be there on
Sunday at the run. Right, Different things happen throughout the week.
People might need their friends for this, that and the
other throughout the week, but we're not going to miss
the run because that is the glue. And similar to
social clubes, we're not going to miss the Sunday night
get together whatever it is, you know. But again, in
the Sunday night good together, we're sitting drinking, eating and

(18:59):
maybe talking about the next week. But at the room
club we're running, we're talking we're doing yoga. We're resetting
our mind for the next week ahead, like which which
one is better for us? Yes, you know, and it's
and again it's we're just as excited about this as
as I believe we are about the social clubs and

(19:19):
things like that. Against not a knock on them entirely.
I just think that we need to change our culture.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
Yes, absolutely, absolutely, Because I grow a garden. You know,
I'm pretty.

Speaker 5 (19:31):
Really paying attention to what I put in my body,
how I cook, you know, I grow my own herbs,
all that kind of stuff. And I don't always get
outside to run. But I do have a treadmill that
I jump on every day. And I started with like
ten minutes intervals. Now I'm up to fifteen minutes.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
And that's good. So you know, walking is fine too.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Walking has changed more people's lives than our community than
running has.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (20:05):
Yes, Because I'm not a runner, I'm like, no, I'm
not gonna do that.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
I'm just gonna keep it real, but I will I
will walk.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
Walking is great. People have literally walked down or off
their medications in a matter of month.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
Yes. Here at Bare Health lost twenty pounds, lost fifty
you know what I'm saying, it's walking is honestly going
to become the kind of like silver bullet solution that
we offer as something to integrate into life, because again,
it's it's relatively accessible on the whole. Most most people

(20:40):
can manage to walk. Yes, most of us can afford
to walk a bit more.

Speaker 5 (20:46):
Yes, exactly because I was so inspired. I saw this lady,
I don't know, I was on my way somewhere and
she had a walker. She was actually walking maybe three
or four maybe, you know, like the city blocks, the squares.
She was walking with her walker, and then she would

(21:07):
turn around and walk back, and then turn around and
walk And I was like, she's on a walk and
a walker, and she understands the importance of movie.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
Mm hmm. Absolutely. And then that just goes to the
that just goes to prove that, you know, when people
say they don't have time to where they can't do
it or whatever, there's really no legitimate Again, for the
most part, there aren't any legitimate excuses for not doing it.
She's managing to do it.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
You can do it, yes, and you take time for
things you want.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
To do exactly.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
You know, we always find the time for the stuff
we want to do.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
And I think that that's that's the part of accessibility
that we don't talk about enough relates to really any
any problem, social and vironmental, you know, political problem. There
are three components when it comes to accessibility in public health.
The first one is availability, right, and so it is

(22:12):
what you need even there right, And for the most part,
what we need is there again. I know, we have
food deserts, we have you know, or systemic factors that
affect the availability of things. But on the whole, most
most of us have act have availability of what we
need and then affordability. Honestly, same thing there again, and

(22:34):
this is what I studied in graduate school. For the
most part, it's it's also available. I mean, it's also affordable.
Right now, the healthiest foods you know, beans, rice, potatoes, vegetables,
these are very cheap foods are very cheap, right, you
can as an individual, you can probably live off of

(22:54):
fifty dollars a week worth. Where the healthiest foods in
the world world and I'm talking about the healthiest foods
based on what the longest lived populations in the world eat,
which these are the blue zones where people are living
into their one hundreds on a regular basis, they eat
ninety five percent plant based diets and they eat again beans, rice, potatoes,

(23:17):
mixed veggies, fruits. These are things that are very affordable.
So that that notion that you have to like it's
expensive to eat healthy, it's just not true. Now depends
on what type of healthy you're eating. If you're eating
salads out at Chick fil a or eating salad, you
know what I'm saying, Like, then yeah, that's going to
get expensive. Eating out in general is going to get expensive.
But the core, the core foods that we should be

(23:42):
eating every day, that the healthiest humans in the world
eat every day, are very cheap and affordable. And so
again those are the two Those are two of the components, right,
availability and affordability. And then the third one is desire ability,
which is really where the challenge lies in my opinion,
because like you're saying, we make time for the things
that we want, we got the money all of a
sudden for the things that we want because we'll go

(24:04):
spend two hundred and fifty dollars at a club at
night and then and then I have like ten dollars
for a yoga session is too much we have. That's
where we have to work, and that is very hard
work because you're shifting, you're shifting priorities, you're shifting values.

(24:24):
To shift someone's value is really hard work. But they're
they're strategies to execute on that, which is kind of
some of the things that I've been describing with creating
these social social circles that are rooted in health.

Speaker 5 (24:39):
Yes, yes, and it's so important and now African American community,
because you know, we are taking, you know, so many pills,
it's unreal. And we think, like with my doctor, she
knows I'm not taking pills.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
Because I know that God puts something here for everything.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
M hm.

Speaker 5 (25:05):
And she respects that, you know, because I'll be like, no,
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Or she'll try to give me something. I'll do my
due diligence and I'll be like, m too many side
effects for me. You know, I'll find another way.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
So I'm always looking for a more holistic way of
dealing with things.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah, absolutely, And and diseases really really simple when you
when you really break it down, most diseases, right, So
let's again we're talking about type two diabetes, high blood pressure.
If you break down the word disease, right, it's disase
meaning not balanced, right, not at ease, And and that

(25:50):
essentially your your your body is always aiming for or
or inclining toward a state of ease or balance, or
they call it homeostasis. And usually one of two things
caused something to be imbalanced, either too much of something

(26:10):
that you don't need in a system or not enough
of something that you do need in a system. And
in our lives here in America particularly, we have way
too much food that we don't need in our system,
way too many, way too many things in our systems
that we don't need, and not enough of the nutrients
that we do need. And when you remove the toxins

(26:32):
and add the nutrients, all of a sudden, you have health.
And your type two diabetes is no longer a problem
because now you're not Now your system is not having
to work an overdrive to compete or to produce enough
insulin to meet the demand of sugar that you're putting
in the body because you're not eating as much of
the sugar. And so then you no longer have quote

(26:54):
unquote type two diabetes, or same thing with hypertension. You're
removing the excess salt from your diet and you're replacing
with the nutrients that you need to need. And then
all of a sudden, your system, your your your blood
system doesn't have to work as hard to maintain homeostasis.
And that's essentially what the medications do. They artificially create

(27:15):
homeostasis in the body right by again providing the excess
insulin that the body needs to produce and in the
case of diabetes, or dilating the blood vessels in the
case of high blood pressure hypertension. But it doesn't have
to be this way. To remove the toxin and have

(27:38):
the nutrients on the whole, your body is going to
do well. Now if she's still dealing with problems after
doing everything right, then okay, let's go to the doctor.
Let's go get the medication. Because medication does have its place, yes,
And one thing that I am particularly concerned about oftentimes
is that folks want to get holistic as soon as
they get the condition. Now I don't want I don't

(28:01):
want to take the medication. I'm a holistic type person.
What were you doing before you what we're eating for? Yeah,
you know like in that And so I think both
are necessary. And I used to work in a heart
clinic where where they prescribe medication, and they would prescribe
plant based diets together and and in a matter of
weeks people will come down or off their medications just

(28:23):
from honoring the diet. But but but don't get all
holistic once you've already developed the condition and put your
life at risk by not, you know, taking the medication.
If you now do not plan to take that medication
for the rest of your life. Plan to change your life, yes,
And don't let the doctor convince you that you're going
to be on this medication for the rest of their life,

(28:43):
for the rest of your life, because they are going
to be probably under the impression that you're not going
to change your lifestyle. That's just I mean, the data
supports that that you won't. But you're going to be different.
And but yeah, just don't don't dismiss medicine all of
a sudden. If you haven't been that that holistic person before.

(29:04):
I'm saying I'm suggesting that you do become holistic. But
but don't don't put yourself at risk, especially with things
like cancer.

Speaker 5 (29:12):
You know, sometimes you need medicine. You know, it's just
but you need to also pay like you said, pay
attention to your behaviors, what you're putting in your body,
what you're doing with your body, and how you're.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Treating your mind.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Absolutely, because they're all connected, and a lot of times
people don't realize that it is.

Speaker 6 (29:38):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Sometimes yes, indeed.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Wow, So again, how do people connect?

Speaker 3 (29:47):
Yeah? Uh, follow us on social media at their health
that's b e hr health, follow me at kwame terra
k w A m e t e r r A.
Against social media, we're most on Instagram, getting a bit
more active on TikTok and LinkedIn and Facebook. But yeah,
you'll hear about us eventually for sure.

Speaker 5 (30:08):
Okay, I was reading your bio and I hear you
have a challenge coming up.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
H yeah, yeah, yeah, we do. We do.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
So.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
Since I did the two million steps in April and
broke the international book with records for the most steps
in thirty days, a lot of people were asking me
what's next, And I wasn't thinking about what's next at
all because I'd just done two million steps in thirty
days and I was just like, I don't know nothing.
Actually I don't want to do it for a while,
but I recognized that it was a very inspiring moment

(30:41):
for people, and you know, my objective was to raise
awareness for the company and get people excited about it,
but I didn't necessarily expect people to be inspired, which
I really appreciate or and really liked the fact that
people were inspired by it, because inspiration is really the
root of longevity, Like the desire to live is the
root of longevity. And if something that I do or

(31:03):
something that I become inspires other people to want to
become more for their own lives, then that's honestly the
only work that needs to be done. That's the feedback
loop that we need to create as a society. Anyway,
I started thinking about another challenge, and we're going to
try it. We're gonna actually do it in next April.

(31:25):
We're gonna tempt to break the world record for the
most people participating in a virtual run slash walk event
across multiple venues. So the current world record is seven
hundred and seventy three thousand people participating in a virtual
charity walk, and we're going for a million next year.
So next day and over the next several several months, Yeah,

(31:47):
the next several months we're going to be campaigning for
that and our secondary goal is really connected to the
official launch of the Bare health app. So again, we've
been on our beta app for the past eighteen months
and now we're migrating to our official app on October seventh,
and the campaign is Bare Help to the Moon since
it's our official launch, and so if we don't reach

(32:10):
the million mark, our goal is to cover en up
ground as a community to reach the Moon, which will
be about two hundred thirty nine thousand miles and so
hopefully we have enough people on the app by April
of next year to reach the Moon as a community.

Speaker 5 (32:28):
Absolutely, well, I'm definitely gonna get the app because I'm.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Definitely one that move mode.

Speaker 6 (32:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (32:36):
Yeah, that's exciting, and I'm one of those people that
like community, you know, because I like people and learning
different people's just being around people excites me.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
Yeah, absolutely, So.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
Yeah, I'm looking forward to that. So again, how can
people get the app?

Speaker 5 (32:57):
And how can people keep follow you to keep track
of everything that you're doing.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
Yep, again, follow me on social media, follow the company
at their health b e h R Health, and then
follow me at kwame Terra K two b A m
E T E R R A. There are links to
download the app on the link trees there, but if
you go straight to the app store, you can download
the Dakadoo app d A C A D O O

(33:24):
and use access code just Minding my Business to create
your account and see you and the challenges.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
Alright, Well, I.

Speaker 5 (33:33):
Really appreciate you stopping by the to share this initiative
because it is definitely important, to say the least, because
our people definitely need to get to move in and
be more health conscientious, uh, you know, for longevity and
really being happy, you know, because you can't be happy sick.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
And you're not happy.

Speaker 5 (34:01):
Overweight, you know, even though you might project that to
the world, but when it's me, myself and I, it
may be a whole different situation. So I thank you
for you know, doing your part and making life better.

(34:22):
And definitely we definitely need to have you back again,
especially when these challenges start kicking off so we can
get more momentum around it. Yeah, no doubt, So thank
you so much and let's do this again.
