Pierre</a></h2><p>Our guest speaker is <strong>Dr. Berry Pierre</strong>, a board-certified physician, health educator, and advocate who has spent years helping people understand the real impact of everyday health decisions.</p><p>But this conversation is not just about medicine.</p><p>It&#8217;s about <strong>ownership</strong>.</p><p>Ownership of your body.<br>Ownership of your habits.<br>Ownership of the future you are building.</p><p>Because long-term leadership doesn&#8217;t begin in the boardroom.</p><p>It begins in <strong>daily discipline</strong>.</p><div><hr></div><h2><a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/UsPvcx-5Ty2_C27nrLRJ9Q">What We&#8217;ll Explore</a></h2><p>During this session, we&#8217;ll explore several ideas that many young men rarely hear discussed in a direct way.</p><p><strong>Health as Leadership</strong></p><p>Discipline in health often reflects discipline in life.<br>The ability to manage sleep, stress, nutrition, and energy shapes how a man shows up everywhere else.</p><p><strong>Manhood &amp; Medicine</strong></p><p>The decisions men make about their bodies &#8212; what they eat, how they manage stress, whether they seek care &#8212; have real consequences for their long-term success.</p><p><strong>Ownership of Your Health</strong></p><p>Too often young men believe health is something doctors fix later.</p><p>In reality, the most important health decisions are made <strong>long before a hospital visit</strong>.</p><p><strong>Habits that Shape the Future</strong></p><p>Sleep, exercise, nutrition, mental health, and stress management are not temporary fixes.</p><p>They are <strong>lifelong systems</strong> that determine vitality and longevity.</p><div><hr></div><h2>Manhood Starts Earlier Than Most People Think</h2><p>When we talk about manhood, people often talk about career success, financial stability, or status.</p><p>But long before any of that comes the simplest truth:</p><p><strong>Manhood begins with responsibility.</strong></p><p>Responsibility for your actions.<br>Responsibility for your decisions.<br>Responsibility for your body and your mind.</p><p>Because the man who cannot protect his health eventually struggles to protect everything else.</p><p>His family.<br>His leadership.<br>His future.</p><div><hr></div><h2>The Conversation We Want Young Men to Have</h2><p>Manhood Academy was created to open up conversations that many young men rarely get to hear in honest ways.</p><p>Not lectures.</p><p>Not slogans.</p><p>But real discussions about the choices that shape a man&#8217;s life.</p><p>This week&#8217;s conversation with Dr. Berry Pierre is one of those moments.</p><p>A chance to step back and ask a simple but powerful question:</p><p><strong>What does it look like to build a future you are healthy enough to live in?</strong></p><div><hr></div><h2>Join the

responsibility from men who are living those values every day. That&#8217;s the purpose behind the <strong>Manhood Academy</strong> series &#8212; creating space where real experiences can help shape the next generation.</p><p>This week, as part of the <strong>Manhood Academy 18&#8211;28 Kickoff Series</strong>, we continue the conversation with a session titled:</p><h2><em><a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/UsPvcx-5Ty2_C27nrLRJ9Q">Measure of a Man</a></em></h2><p>Our featured guest is <strong>Maurice Spencer</strong>, a technology leader, mentor, basketball coach, and proud girl dad whose life reflects many of the lessons young men need to hear today.</p><p>Maurice represents something that is often missing in conversations about masculinity &#8212; <strong>a balanced example</strong>.</p><p>A man who has spent more than two decades building teams and leading in the technology sector.<br>A man who understands the discipline and teamwork that sports can teach.<br>A father raising a daughter who cares deeply about the kind of men the next generation becomes.</p><p>And perhaps most importantly, a man who still values <strong>mentorship</strong>.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

was a father.<br>Sometimes it was a coach.<br>Sometimes it was a teacher or mentor who saw something in us before we saw it in ourselves.</p><p>Maurice often talks about the impact of the coaches who guided him during his basketball journey growing up. These were men who taught more than just plays and drills. They taught discipline. Accountability. Respect.</p><p>The kind of lessons that stay with you long after the final buzzer sounds.</p><p>Today, Maurice continues that tradition by coaching youth basketball &#8212; including his daughter&#8217;s AAU team &#8212; passing those lessons forward to the next generation.</p><p>Because mentorship is one of the quiet forces that shape a life.</p><div><hr></div><h2><a

reframes caregiving from an individual burden to a systemic issue.</p><p>When caregivers burn out, families destabilize.<br>When caregivers are unsupported, health outcomes decline.<br>When caregivers neglect their own well-being, the ripple effects extend across generations.</p><p>Caregiver health is public health.</p><p>And yet, we rarely build policy, workplace structures, or community systems that treat it that way.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

caregivers develop.</p><p>It sounds steady. Efficient. Matter-of-fact.</p><p>&#8220;Yeah, I&#8217;ve got it.&#8221;<br>&#8220;It&#8217;s fine.&#8221;<br>&#8220;That&#8217;s just what you do.&#8221;</p><p>No drama. No spotlight. No request for help.</p><p>Just quiet endurance.</p><div><hr></div><h2>The Caregiver Generation</h2><p>We are living through a demographic shift.</p><p>Healthcare systems are stretched. Families are smaller. Geographic mobility has scattered siblings across states. And many adults in their 40s, 50s, and even 30s now find themselves in a dual role:</p><p>Full-time employee.<br>Full-time caregiver.</p><p>The data confirms what many quietly feel:</p><ul><li><p>Family caregivers provide the majority of long-term care in the United States.</p></li><li><p>Many experience chronic stress, sleep disruption, and elevated risk for anxiety and depression.</p></li><li><p>Caregivers often delay their own medical care.</p></li><li><p>Financial strain is common &#8212; even among middle-class households.</p></li></ul><p>And yet, culturally, caregiving is framed as duty. As love. As expectation.</p><div><hr></div><h2>Why This Conversation Matters</h2><p>This isn&#8217;t about guilt.</p><p>It&#8217;s about awareness.</p><p>It&#8217;s about naming what many feel but rarely articulate.</p><p>It&#8217;s about shifting from heroic endurance to sustainable care.</p><p>Dr. Rosario created <em>The Loving Well Podcast</em> as a space for caregivers to reflect, reconnect, and refill &#8212; not because they are failing, but because they are carrying.</p><p>And carrying alone was never meant to be permanent.</p><div><hr></div><h2>Join the Live Conversation</h2><p>&#128197;

through ordinary choices&#8212;not grand gestures&#8212;and what it means to nourish and cherish a relationship the way you would a maintenance contract. Not waiting until everything breaks, but tending to it consistently so it can actually last.

Couples will hear how restarting doesn&#8217;t require shame or scorekeeping&#8212;just honesty and intention.</p><p>Join us live on <strong>Thursday, February 12 at 8:00 PM ET</strong>, streaming via Zoom as part of <strong>Soul Thursdays</strong>.

relationships. Kwame and Nakia Stringfield share lived insight on servant leadership, emotional safety, trust-building, and why leadership is proven through consistency, understanding, and sacrifice&#8212;not control.</p><p><strong>Topics include:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Leadership vs dominance &amp; Submission vs Safety</p></li><li><p>Leadership as Service &amp; Submission as Trust</p></li><li><p>Understanding vs fixing &amp; Listening vs Solving</p></li></ul><p>&#128073; Register at <strong><a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/UsPvcx-5Ty2_C27nrLRJ9Q">SoulThursdays.com</a></strong></p><p><strong>Open Discussion:</strong> We&#8217;ll also explore how trust is built day by day through ordinary choices&#8212;not grand gestures&#8212;and what it means to nourish and cherish a relationship the way you would a maintenance contract. Not waiting until everything breaks, but tending to it consistently so it can actually last. Singles will hear how leadership is something you practice <em>before</em> marriage, not something you magically acquire later. Couples will hear how restarting doesn&#8217;t require shame or scorekeeping&#8212;just honesty and intention.</p><p>If you&#8217;re tired of the noise and looking for language that actually fits what you&#8217;re feeling, this is a good place to sit.</p><p>Join us live on <strong>Thursday, February 12 at 8:00 PM ET</strong>, streaming via Zoom as part of <strong>Soul Thursdays</strong>.

&#8220;responsible.&#8221;</em><br>But nobody stopped to ask what it cost them.</p><p>In this Soul Thursdays conversation, therapist and TEDx speaker Montina Myers-Galloway helps us name a pattern many Black women live with but rarely hear explained: <strong>parentification</strong> &#8212; when a child is emotionally, mentally, or practically required to grow up too fast.</p><p>This episode explores:</p><ul><li><p>What parentification really is &#8212; and how it quietly steals childhood</p></li><li><p>Why so many Black women become <em>&#8220;the strong one&#8221;</em> in every room</p></li><li><p>How workaholism and burnout get tied to proving your worth</p></li><li><p>Practical steps to stop over-carrying what was never yours to hold</p></li></ul><p><br>If you&#8217;ve been walking through life with an invisible emotional duffel bag &#8212; holding everyone else&#8217;s needs, feelings, and survival &#8212; this conversation is for you.</p><p>This isn&#8217;t about blame.<br>It&#8217;s about <strong>relief</strong>.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#127897;&#65039; SOUL THURSDAYS LIVE &#8212; PODCAST LAUNCH EXPERIENCE</h2><h3><em>Becoming Natalie: The Soul Wealth

being invited <strong>inside the moment someone chooses to begin again</strong>.</p><p>Join us live as Natalie Beard officially launches <em>Becoming Natalie: The Soul Wealth Podcast</em> &#8212; a deeply personal, soul-centered series born from divorce, burnout, spiritual awakening, and the quiet decision to stop hustling for worth.</p><p>In this intimate live conversation, Natalie and Calvin pull the curtain back on:</p><ul><li><p>Why Natalie is launching this podcast <em>now</em></p></li><li><p>What it really takes to start a podcast when your life is still unfolding</p></li><li><p>The emotional, spiritual, and practical shifts behind midlife reinvention</p></li><li><p>How personal collapse can become creative clarity</p></li><li><p>What &#8220;Soul Wealth&#8221; actually means when you&#8217;re done performing strength</p><p></p></li></ul><p>You&#8217;ll hear Natalie&#8217;s story.<br>You&#8217;ll understand the <em>why</em> behind the podcast.<br>And you&#8217;ll witness how Soul Thursdays helps turn lived experience into a platform &#8212; in real time.</p><div><hr></div><h2>Why These Two Conversations Belong Together</h2><p>One conversation asks:</p><blockquote><p><em>What did it cost you to be the responsible one?</em></p></blockquote><p>The other asks:</p><blockquote><p><em>What becomes possible when you stop performing strength?</em></p></blockquote><p>Together, they offer a rare mirror:</p><ul><li><p>Healing the past</p></li><li><p>Choosing the present</p></li><li><p>And building forward from truth instead of survival</p></li></ul><p>If you&#8217;ve ever:</p><ul><li><p>Felt like your old life no longer fits</p></li><li><p>Wondered if it&#8217;s &#8220;too late&#8221; to start something new</p></li><li><p>Been curious about podcasting but overwhelmed by the process</p></li><li><p>Or needed permission to rest, pivot, or begin again</p></li></ul><p>&#128073; <strong>This week is for you.</strong></p><p>&#127911; Come for the story.<br>&#127897;&#65039; Stay for the process.<br>&#128293; Leave reminded that you don&#8217;t have to have it all figured out to start.</p><p>&#128242;

<em>on our terms</em>?</p><p>In this live Soul Thursdays conversation, Nina Orm helps us unpack a truth many creatives already feel but haven&#8217;t always had language for:</p><p>Black creativity has generated enormous value &#8212; often without ownership, control, or legacy.</p><p>Together, we explore:</p><ul><li><p>Why Black wealth has <em>always</em> been about more than money</p></li><li><p>How capital systems extract culture without returning ownership</p></li><li><p>Why creatives are entrepreneurs &#8212; whether they claim the title or not</p></li><li><p>What the future of creative capital could look like if we design it ourselves</p></li><li><p>How imagination itself becomes a form of wealth</p></li></ul><p>This episode is for artists, founders, culture-makers, and anyone rethinking their relationship with money, power, and possibility.</p><div><hr></div><h2>Why These Conversations Belong Together</h2><p>Healing without resources leaves people exhausted.<br>Wealth without humanity leaves people empty.</p><p>This week, <strong>Soul Thursdays</strong> invites you into both rooms &#8212; the internal and the systemic, the personal and the political, the nervous system <em>and</em> the balance sheet.</p><p>Come for the insight.<br>Stay for the community.<br>Leave with language, tools, and perspective you can carry forward.</p><p>&#128242;
