On October 10th, World Mental Health Day, I had the honor of being part of the Mental Wealth Expo, a day filled with some of the most beautiful, powerful, and divine energy I’ve experienced in a long time.

Thousands of people from all walks of life came together with a shared intention to heal, connect, learn, and grow. It was truly magical. A special thank you to @DeviBrown, whose vision and intention curated such an extraordinary experience. She doesn’t just talk the talk, she walks the walk, and deserves every flower for the love and care she poured into bringing this day to life.

It’s taken me nearly two weeks to put this experience into words. I wanted to give myself the space to sit with it all, to reflect, and to let it integrate. Thankfully, I journaled immediately afterward, capturing three simple but powerful truths that stayed with me…

On World Mental Health Day I took Soft Landings for Hard Days to the Mental Wealth Expo to talk about what it looks like to be soft with each other - and with ourselves.

Thank you to my dear sis @devibrown, @cthagod & @mentalwealthalliance for having me. Blessings to all! 🪶📖🤍🩵

The 6th Annual Mental Wealth Expo was incredible! 🌞

Though I have served on the board of the Mental Wealth Alliance the past 6 years and have spoken at The Expo in the past, this was my first year currating 100% of the programing and themes and I could not be more grateful for how powerful and impactful this day was!

A completely FREE event for the whole family, we saw nearly 5,000 attendees come through the doors of the Joel and Diane Bloom Wellness Center on October 10th, global mental health day.

A full day of mental health tools, solutions and rescoures.

Every conversation, workshop, and exchange was a reminder of why this work matters and the importance of continuing to make mental health education, well-being practices and self-care skills accessible to all communities.

A deep bow to my dear brother @cthagod for his vision, heart and continued commitment to the world of mental health.

To the entire iHeart team and GivingBackFund, thank you for your incredible partnership, dedication, and the countless hours of work that went into bringing this experience to life.

Thank you to all speakers, experts, advocates, facilitators and teachers for your generous time & hearts! @iyanlavanzant @kiergaines @marc.brackett @jovianzayne @koyawebb @michellewilliams @elliottspeaks @kingjaybarnett @dr.rheedawalker @trentoutloud @julius_thomas @paris_alexandra @savkstevens @jenniferarnise @judgedawson @iamtierrabanks

A special thank you to Dr. Key and Village Books for bringing the Book Village to life and creating a space for our authors and community to connect through literature and conversation. Such a beautiful addition to this year’s Expo!

To every volunteer, team member, and person who showed up and made this day what it was, THANK YOU!

Almost 70, and I’m finally sitting down to tell the story behind the woman I’ve become. ❤️

From farmworker advocacy and radio, to healthcare, entrepreneurship, wellness, and some very difficult personal chapters — every season taught me something.

I’m honored to be joining The Fourth Quarter Podcast for a raw, real conversation about resilience, purpose, healthy aging, mental well-being, and what it means to keep getting back up.

I was a fighter for justice.
My fight is different now — but the purpose is still there.

Would you listen? 🎙️❤️

@joeysdayinthelifee inspired me to make this video!

For a long time, I thought being strong meant handling everything on my own. In fact I didn’t believe I would ever consider therapy!

I’m learning that strength also means being honest about what hurts, asking for help, and being willing to unlearn things that no longer serve me.

Therapy isn’t weakness. It’s accountability. It’s growth. It’s choosing to understand yourself instead of continuing to repeat the same patterns.

You can be a husband, a father, an athlete, a leader, and still have things you need to work through.

Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is admit you need help.

If you’ve been thinking about therapy, let this be your reminder that you don’t have to wait until everything falls apart to start working on yourself.

We were proud to be part of the 6th annual Mental Wealth Expo in Newark this World Mental Health Day! It was amazing to connect with so many people who showed up to invest in themselves.

Stress, anxiety, and burnout don’t just live in your head. They affect your body, and your heart feels it too. That’s why caring for the whole person matters to us. Heart disease is still the #1 killer in America, and prevention starts with knowing your numbers and taking that first step.

Thank you @cthagod, @mentalwealthalliance, and @power1051 for creating a space where our community can heal, learn, and grow. See you next year! 💛

spent world mental health day behind the camera at the @mentalwealthalliance expo, founded by @cthagod and i’m still on a high 📸🧠✨

i got to support social media alongside the most amazing team of volunteers, every single one of them with their own passions, projects, and businesses that aligned with the mission. the energy was unmatched 🙌🏾

here’s why this one felt so right 👇🏾

as a career coach, i tell people all the time: volunteering can give you some of the best experience you’ll ever get 💼 you’re handed the in-between tasks that keep everything moving, and you walk away with a condensed, concentrated dose of real experience, even in just a few hours. yes, bills need to get paid 😅 but volunteering often has a lower barrier to entry than a job or internship, and the experience is just as real.

and the people?! when everyone in the room chose to be there, the connections hit different 🤝🏾💫

plus, the alignment 🎯 i create content. i talk about mental health. i’ve produced my own events this year. i’ve attended conferences and been the talent at them. so getting to capture this event, on world mental health day of all days, felt like everything clicking into place. i knew exactly where to stand and which moments mattered because i’ve been in each of those shoes 👠

shout out to all the amazing people i connected with, tags below 💌 if you were there, you already know how special that room was. already counting down to the next one ⏳🤎

let this be your sign to try something new 🌱 volunteer to give back, but also to stretch who you are, what you do, and how you’re reaching your goals.

there are so many ways to get into the room. find yours 🗝️✨

Black folks deserve access to the resources and tools that help us heal. And that’s exactly what this year’s Mental Wealth Expo did!

If you missed this year, make sure you have it on your calendar so you don’t miss next year. A time was had!!
