Hodge Founder Black People Bike About Harlan It is my belief that people find meaning, purpose, and happiness through meaningful work. Meaningful work is labor that results in the enhancement of others. The act of exercising one's gifts brings joy to the individual while the act of service to others creates a stronger community. Thus, the individual and society are interdependent. The act of working for and with each other enhances the individuals and the relationship. Ultimately, the quality of one's life and the well-being of any community can be measured by the quality and quantity of their connections. There is no greater method of enhancing social bonds than cooperative labor. The most efficient method is the sharing of stories. #blackhealth #blackhealthmatters #blackexcellence #drsebiapproved #blackmentalhealth #drsebi #blackconsciousness #blackmen #blacklove #blackwealth #blackwomen #blackunity #blackfamily #blackcommunity #alkaline #blackkings #blackwellness #health #vegan #blacklivesmatter #blackqueens #alkalinediet #blackownedbusiness #blackmentalhealthmatters #blackvegan #seamoss #mentalhealth #melanin #blackgirlmagic #alkalinevegan #blackhealthmattersstl #stlouis #harlanhodge #blackhealthmatters blackhealthmattersstlouis #stlouisblackmentalhealth

We've been talking to Stan, the Roy, who is a pillar in St Louis. Everybody has seen this man. And today, I'm honored to have him on Black Health Matters with us today. We invite great people on and talk to them about what they're doing to try to improve the health of our folks. We talk about black people a lot, not just because we are black, but because we know that the health and well-being of black people is paramount. We have some of the the greatest challenges facing us in the nation, from heart disease to cancer. Every preventable disease you could imagine. We're at the top of the list right. And I think that there's a whole lot of stuff that we can do to change it. More importantly, we have a whole lot of change agents out here. And so I ran into Stan the other day, and we had a chance to finally just connect on a on a personal level. Let me introduce you to Stan Le'Roy! Host: Harlan B.
