As a community mental health advocate, Donovan turned his pain into passion and founded Heart of a Man in 2015. His journey has been shaped by personal battles and the profound loss of his mother to cancer, experiences that tested his spirit but ultimately built his resilience.

What began as survival grew into a mission to raise awareness, break down barriers, and create spaces where individuals can find the strength and support they need for lasting mental wellness. Donovan has seen firsthand how a lack of understanding and resources can affect people and their loved ones as they navigate life’s challenges.

Heart of a Man is more than an initiative, it is a movement. Every shirt in the HOAM apparel line carries that story of resilience. When Donovan wears it, he feels empowered, reminded that strength is not only about enduring hardship but about rising from it, sharing your story, and inspiring others to do the same.

Through his work, Donovan strives to educate, connect, and support individuals and communities on their mental wellness journeys. His vision is to encourage open conversations that spark healing, resilience, and change, creating a world where people can stand tall, supported, and unafraid to share their truth.

When you wear Heart of a Man, you are not just wearing a shirt. You are carrying a story, a movement, and a message of strength that inspires others to rise with you.
