Let’s talk legacy. Let’s talk 💪🏾Archie Green.💪🏾 Archie is an artist, mental health advocate, and bold disruptor who’s redefining what wellness looks like for Black men and boys, and we’re super proud to honor him a one of 10 Black Men Redefining Mental Health. As Founder and CEO of Peel Dem Layers Back (PDLB), Archie is proving that mental health work doesn’t have to look clinical to be effective. It can sound like music, feel like culture, and move like a revolution. Through powerful storytelling and community-based programs, he’s giving Black men and boys the language, space, and strength to heal out loud. His work is a gift to this generation and to the next. Salute to a brother who’s using every layer of his journey to uplift ours 👏🏾👏🏾 #winwithblackmen #PeelDemLayersBack #MentalHealthChampion #ArchieGreen #BlackMentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

Joe Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis isn’t just news, it’s a harsh reminder of what Black men have faced for too long: prostate cancer is silently killing us at alarming rates. Black men are diagnosed younger, suffer more aggressive forms, and too often get diagnosed too late. Talk to your doctor, push for early screenings, and make your health a priority. Don’t wait until it’s too late. #BlackHealthMatters #FightProstateCancer #JoeBiden

Brothers, are you okay?

This is bigger than a post, it’s part of a movement. We’re kicking off our 10 Black Men Redefining Mental Health spotlight series STRONG with a mission to raise awareness, spark dialogue, and amplify the Black men changing the conversation around healing. Each spotlight is a celebration of resilience, rest, and the radical act of caring for ourselves and each other and recognition of the Black men who are out here doing it big. “Redefining mental health means releasing Black people to feel the full spectrum of life.” Steven Sharpe Jr. (@stevensharpejr) is doing just that, using his voice to help Black men embrace healing, joy, rest, and self-expression. From working with brands like Dove Men+Care to founding his own digital studio, he’s building a world where rest and radical self-care are the norm, not the exception. ✊🏾 This is what freedom looks like. We’re building a space where Black men can be real about their wellness. What conversations around mental health do you wish we had more often? #winwithblackmen #MentalHealthAwareness #BlackMenHealing #StevenSharpeJr #RedefiningMentalHealth #StevenSharpeJr #MensMentalHealthMatters
