Getting Black men to show up for their own health.

AAMWA runs Black Men's Wellness Day, a national health movement built to get Black men to show up for their own health. It puts free screenings, walks, and real conversation about physical and mental health in front of men who usually skip the doctor.

In a city where Black men carry some of the worst health outcomes in the country, it turns a hard subject into a day people actually want to attend. I sit on the committee that makes that day happen in Detroit.
