June EmPOWERED Men’s Health - Live Fierce Stand for Mental & Physical Health
Men of color experience poor health outcomes and shorter lifespans due in large measure to social and economic drivers of health, or social determinants of health.
They are strong voices in their communities and need to be engaged in the dialogue about long-term health solutions.
Watch Mathew Knowles and influencers from the African-American, LatinX and Asian American/Pacific Islander communities discuss men’s physical and mental health.

Empowering the Next Generation of Young Leaders Virtual Town Hall, cohosted by National Charity League
This virtual town hall, presented by EmPOWERED to Serve and National Charity League is a conversation hosted by young leaders for young leaders.
The event included EmPOWERED Ticktockers, AHA Youth Volunteers, and EmPOWERED Scholars as they discussed key issues affecting young adults and their wellbeing including vaping/tobacco, food insecurity, mental health and other health justice issues.
The film speaks to our ability to self-heal by raising the next generation of brilliant minds and healing hands using the power of a village over the power of one.
