Special Visit from Ohio Lt. Governor

Jon Husted 

We were honored to host Ohio’s Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted at one of our August FatherUp cohorts. Lt. Governor Husted, a father himself, engaged with our dads on the important issue of online safety for children. The discussion centered around setting social media standards to protect kids from harmful online content.

This empowering event, organized by The African American Male Wellness Agency, was more than just a walk—it was an opportunity to build community, promote wellness, and strengthen bonds.
