“I couldn’t even have the conversation had I not made some really deep acknowledgments in my own journey,” Jonathan Majors told Bet.com exclusively.

He and his wife, Meagan Good, are using their new wellness brand, Honor Culture, to partner with mental health advocate, nurse, and entrepreneur Najah Elessie for Wounds To Wisdom, a supper club experience centering on mental health, specifically for Black men. Majors will be hosting Elessie’s event on October 25.

When Elessie launched her Diamond Supper Club in 2017, her intention was to bring people of all walks of life together over thoughtfully curated meals and to create a space for community healing, meaningful conversations, and emotional nourishment. Wounds to Wisdom is an intentional branch that grew after Elessie lost her brother to suicide; that is why it focuses on Black men’s mental health.

Good understands the power of community and how Majors can serve as a vessel for the men in attendance. She said, “Creating spaces where and bringing people in that you may or may not know, but you go, ‘Oh, that person can be that candid and honest and raw, then I can too.’”

“You have 50 men who are going to be at this table that are going to be able to experience the love of God, the love of man, and be able to heal through the calling of your acting on your life,” Elessie told Majors. She believes that their connection is divine, and so does Majors, who (almost) immediately said yes when Elessie reached out for him to host Wounds To Wisdom.

“My healing has to be consistently ongoing, especially when I'm stepping into a space where I would be surrounded by brothers in similar situations, who are dealing with, or probably just now acknowledging that they have a…part of their societal movement that actually needs to be attended to,” Jonathan shared.

Elessie is fully aware of the public opinion of Majors, especially after his domestic violence incident and subsequent time in court. She said to him, “I know, watching everything that happened, you think on the outside, on the surface level, ‘Why is this happening to me? Why is it going down this way, publicly?’ It’s because the enemy thinks if he can attack the calling you have on your life and we would have never gotten here.”

Majors’ wife wholeheartedly agreed. She told us, “When everything was going on, I had said to Jonathan on a few different occasions, ‘God didn’t make this happen, but we're here. God is allowing it to happen.’”

Good poured into her husband, so that he could understand he’s a part of something way bigger. She continued, “So that plan and the intention, no matter what trajectory, whatever God’s doing is bigger and better than what we think we want. The position he's putting you in by default is such a huge and important position because other men need that. They need to know that there’s a lifeline. They need to know that they’’ll come through. They need to know all of these things that give you authority to speak life into other people’s lives. It’s such a gift to have such a big calling on your life.”

Meagan is in full support of her husband stepping up for other Black men dealing with mental health issues. She said, “There needs to be, not just resources and space [for Black men’s mental health], but examples and something that shows that there’s no shame; there’s actually only strength in seeking out help and spaces to be completely transparent, honest and to know you’re not alone and you’re not crazy.”

Wounds to Wisdom is that example.
