Meagan Good has spent decades inspiring audiences through her work on screen. At Uplift Her – Wellness Experience, the African American Male Wellness Agency (AAMWA) women’s health event, she used her platform to share a more personal message, one about prioritizing health, overcoming fear, and encouraging women to take action.
Good shared that she had been meaning to schedule a mammogram for years but repeatedly delayed making the appointment.
“I have been meaning to get a mammogram. For the past four years, I kept setting appointments, missing appointments, for one reason or another,” Good shared.
Although she understood the importance of getting screened, Good admitted that uncertainty about the process contributed to her hesitation.

“I thought it was going to be horrifying. I thought it was going to be painful and a lot of squeezing and pushing,” she said.
Instead, Good described the experience as positive and reassuring, crediting the healthcare professional who guided her through the screening.
“The nurse that worked with me was so gentle. It wasn’t anything that I thought,” said Good. “She took extra care and it was awesome.”
For Good, the moment became about more than completing a screening. It became an opportunity to encourage women to view their health as an investment in their future.
“Once I got here today, I want to commemorate this moment and make it extra special with it being the first time I have ever had a mammogram done,” she said.
“When someone like Meagan Good shares that she had concerns about getting a mammogram but found the experience empowering, it reminds women that taking care of their health is something to embrace and not something to fear,” said Tonja Lowe, Healthcare Department Chair for AAMWA.

Lowe emphasized that creating opportunities for education, screening, and follow-up care is essential to improving health outcomes.
After conducting her screenings, Good expressed interest in continuing the wellness conversation through a potential partnership with AAMWA through Honor Culture, the fitness and wellness company she shares with her husband, Jonathan Majors. The potential collaboration would further a shared commitment to encouraging healthier lifestyles, preventive care, and holistic wellness.
Uplift Her – Wellness Experience brought together nearly 10,000 attendees, more than 300 volunteers, and over 250 partners and organizations. The event provided more than 3,700 individual health screenings, including biometric screenings, women’s health consultations, vision, hearing, kidney, HIV and STI screenings, and other preventive health services.

Healthcare professionals identified participants who needed additional support, including 214 individuals referred for immediate follow-up care after elevated blood pressure readings, 168 referred for elevated glucose levels, and 134 referred for high cholesterol concerns. As part of the women’s health services offered, 15 mammograms were provided, helping remove barriers to preventive breast health screenings and encouraging women to prioritize early detection.
