Speaking

I cannot say enough great things about the H.O.A.M men's groups. Organic discussions, in a safe environment.  It's truly all about encouragement, & not One-upmanship. The apparel makes me not only feel confident outwardly, but internally as well. A phenomenal ally, in my journey for self acceptance.

 I never knew mental health was such an important thing in a mans life until my friend took his own life. No man should ever feel ashamed that they are feeling depressed or lost. I'm honored to wear a shirt that encourages everyone to express their feelings and seek help. 

 Heart of A Man gave me the opportunity to have a discussion with other men who are going through either the same or something similar to what I've been dealing with. 

Love the cause and what you stand for. Thank you. 

We feel so grateful that Donovan took the time and care to participate in our school’s Black Futures Panel Discussion in celebration of Black History Month. Through sharing his personal experiences, and positive messages of hope, resilience and perseverance, he left a lasting impact on both students and staff. Donovan’s authenticity resonated with everyone and the school was buzzing with healthy discussion around mental wellness and the concept of turning vulnerability into a strength. We cannot wait to invite Donovan back in the future to inspire more young people!

What a great night! I attended Heart of a Man's event on Feb. 20th. As someone who has suffered from a suicidal depression for many years, and very gratefully got through it, I believe that groups like this are extremely important. Donovan, our host, has put together a safe place for men to get together and openly share our thoughts, fears, doubts and challenges with other open minded people. This is a great movement and I encourage any man with internal struggles to reach out to Heart of a Man. I'm so happy I made the one hour drive to attend and I look forward to being at future events.
