Let’s talk real.

A strong body doesn’t mean a calm mind.
A full schedule doesn’t mean an open heart.

🧠 1 in 5 adults experience mental illness.
🧔🏾 Black men? 20% more likely to suffer in silence.

But the numbers aren’t the story. We are.

📍This month, we’re making the invisible visible.
👬🏾 Brotherhood. Reflection. Real talk.

📝 Prompt of the week: “When was the last time you felt heard?”

📸 Shoutout to every Brother who stood tall with a sign.

When History Calls, Be There.”

Something powerful is set to unfold at the George Washington Masonic Memorial on July 26.
The kind of moment that makes Brothers drop what they’re doing… and traveling men re-route.

And when the work is done… we’re hitting the city in black & white - Summer Dandy Jukejoint Style
🔒 Mark the date. Stay tuned.

Wednesday Morning Wellness Note from the brothers of …

Bro, how are you? Really, how are doing?

When we ask "How are you?" - We mean it. Too often, men and particularly black men are expected to carry the world without ever showing the weight. But in this Lodge - Shelton D. Redden Lodge #139 (SDR #139), vulnerability is not weakness - it's Brotherhood.

We encouraged each of you to take a moment today to pause, breathe*, and reflect. Be honest with yourself. And if you're feeling heavy, call a friend - that safe one who listens without judgement, who might understand. Text them. Set a time to connect. Share. Listen. Build. Serve.

You don't have to be in crisis to need connection.

CTA: Check on 3 brothers this week, especially the “strong ones” - and ask them how they're really doing.

We are only as strong as our willingness to lean on each other.

*Breathing exercise for reduced stress - variation of “box breathing”:
1. Inhale 4 seconds
2. Hold breath 4 seconds
3. Exhale 4 seconds
4. Hold 4 seconds
5. Repeat 3 times
