Emmy-winning producer Rushion McDonald will serve as honorary chair for the event. McDonald is a branding architect who has excelled in television, film, and publishing. He enjoys a robust social media presence and hosts a syndicated radio show.
“We are excited to further our mission of saving black men’s lives with the new African American Male Wellness Day,” said Kenny Hampton, President of the African American Male Wellness Agency. “We look forward to returning to Houston and expanding on our work of reducing health disparities in the community.”
The 2024 Houston African American Male Wellness Day is open to the public. Participants can register on the day of the event or online at aawellness.org/houston-texas. Join us on April 27, 2024, as we work towards closing the health equity gap.
