Our Mission

Brown and Healthy began as a simple hashtag in 2015 and has grown exponentially into a paradigm shifting movement, a respected brand, and a successful startup. Our digital and analog strategies to engage communities of color through social media, wellness events, and internationally published articles has positively impacted thousands of people across the globe. We provide strategic design, community engagement, equity consulting and wellness curation for local, national, and global community stakeholders. We have also launched a social network to foster a partnership and networking environment for like-minded people of African descent who want to expand their reach and bolster community, conversation, and connection throughout the African Diaspora.Our goal: Change the narrative and change the world.

We formed out of the countless and traumatic police killings that began in 2015. Because of the disturbing lens capturing our relationship to the law and our place in society Brown and Healthy developed as an initiative that goes beyond opinions about our lives "mattering" and lands at the absolute undeniable truth, which is, that "we exist" and we exist as healthy contributors to a society that is built largely on the tenants of our culture.

Brown + Healthy seeks to change the face of wellness by creating a pipeline of highly trained future wellness leaders from brown communities. We train, certify and equip fitness professionals of color to have meaningful careers and change lives in our city and our world. In doing this, we ultimately seek to change the negative narrative surrounding the health and wellness of people of color by promoting and facilitating mental, physical, and emotional well being among communities of color.
