Saturday’s hike and fellowship left me refreshed. I held onto that spirit and brought it home with me.

Then Sunday came: ran a 5K, felt like I was jogging. Celebrated my son’s 26th birthday (Go Isaiah!!) !! Ran and Worked out today.

And I had to ask myself: Why on earth would I be weak as to allow negativity to invade the algorithm of my mental space so fast? I saw some negativity online. I laughed it off. Naw. My cup is full.

I’m not at Black Men’s Hikes for social currency. You won’t see my logo plastered across my chest. I’m not there to promote myself.

On those days, I’m Clark Kent. Bruce Banner.

I’m there for the advancement of community.

And I believe advancement starts in the mirror.

Men getting unified. Men getting sharpened. Men learning how to disagree without destroying one another. Men who can put down the ego long enough to pick up the mission.

And not every man is doing that.

Some are potters. Some just come to make reels.
Some are simply puppets with strings, slaves to their own followers. The scared to hide like count types. Imagine being controlled by the people you think you’re leading.

That’s not what we need. We need warriors. Sacred warriors. Ones willing to be transparent and lift each other up. Not just in the wins. But the losses to that we miss the learning moment from if we in our feelings.

Men willing to fix, learn, share, invite, redefine, polish, unite, contribute and fellowship.

Whether it’s standing with young men in an elders program, learning from elders who came before us, or simply welcoming the brother who walked in off the street looking for something more than a show.

More than complaints. More than criticism. More than feeding the algorithm. More than being used for somebody else’s view count.

I’m looking for growth. I’m looking for brotherhood. I’m looking for transformation.

And if you’re not coming to build, then what exactly are you coming for? Me? I’m feeling good. Nothing in me that wants to hate or play victim, even in my own drama. My territory is love. That’s all I can control. That might be hard to see because fake can’t see the real. They think it’s fake because they see to much with their eyes.

Today, we completed another Black Men’s Unity Hike—This may have been the most peaceful and powerful one yet.

Sometimes you open a puzzle box and see hundreds of pieces scattered everywhere. You look at them and wonder, what kind of picture is this supposed to become? Then you start doing the work to put a few pieces together. You begin to trust the process.
And eventually, you start seeing the picture.

Today, we added pieces.

A piece from RICH CITY Rides
A piece from From The Hood To The Woods
A piece from Cat Fitness
A piece from Shawn Granberry
A piece from The Brotherhood
A piece from Winky Dinky Dogs

Together, we all felt vulnerability and authenticity. Maybe we took a few less videos today. A bit less content was created. Sometimes the goal isn’t to capture everything on camera. We not getting a Lewis Belt ✌🏾 or Timeless Stunna at every hike. Sometimes the goal is to be as present with each other as possible.

And the picture is clearer: Black men building relationships with Black men, holding ourselves accountable, strengthening our circles, and ultimately creating stronger connections with Black women.

There is no better person to teach men how women want to be treated than women themselves. That integration matters. And ultimately, looking forward, we will call on the women to help. We not gonna assume we always know. Let’s get into small groups and have real conversations. Adults. Not online chat. Not squabbles and clout chase. Not in a DM, face to face in the flesh.

Today had a simple recipe:
Exercise to wake us up with Cat Fitness
Grounding and prayer with Black to Yoga and We Are DEMM
Walking and hiking with The Home For Outdoor Enthusiasts of Color
All nature related wisdom and expertise from Scid.
Then breaking bread and heading home to start the day.

That’s a healthy morning for Black men—a chance to leave the trail feeling stronger, focused, sharper, grounded, enthusiastic, in gratitude and connected. East Bay Regional Parks shout out to stan.themilliondollakidd for the pushup motivation that has spread. 11/14 is possible next date. Women leaders, tap in. Maybe we do one big healing circle.

Will be one of those enchanted forests nights out. 6:30pm start and stretch and 8:45pm finish back to the parking lot. See you then. Come early if you need a bathroom before we start!! Just under 4 miles, will be a walk in the park. Thank you. Let’s get to start the weekend off with some hiking and peace and health. Mental health hikes have become the thing, the new cliche to draw the crowd out and get the funding. But it’s also real and nature is a great place to remove distraction, get you out the house, get you in community (depression hates being outside, moving your body and being social). It’s medicine. 💊 And we not just in community. We in the right community. Just like all therapists are not for everyone, maybe all hike communities are not as well. 510 Hikers has always placed a bar high on connection and peace in nature. If nature and peace and community is your thing, pull up. We are more nature gathering than “putting on an event” over here. Tonight we continue the tradition. See you then. The QR code is the hike route for tonight. 8:45pm is a bit earlier finish but let’s get our walk in and get home in a way that lets us still have a night.
