In a local community, a group of Black men is shifting the focus from generational wealth to generational health. Led by Terrance Mann, coordinator for Fit Fathers DC and Hard Training Fitness Club, these fathers are determined to pass down healthy habits to their children and grandchildren.
Mann emphasizes the importance of men taking care of their own health through exercise and proper nutrition. By setting a positive example, fathers can inspire their entire household to adopt healthy lifestyles.
Fit Fathers DC, in collaboration with My Fit Fam DC, organizes free and interactive fitness exhibitions that combine health discussions with engaging activities like Crank Boxing Workouts. These events provide opportunities for the community to come together, learn, and have fun. Fit Fathers DC and My Fit Fam DC recently participated in Deanwood Day and celebrated their 10th annual Fit Fathers & Families Event on Father's Day, promoting health and wellness within the community.
Through their dedication to generational health, these Black men are working towards a healthier future for their families and the wider community. By prioritizing their well-being and sharing their knowledge and experiences, they are breaking barriers, challenging disparities, and creating a more equitable and thriving society.
