Checkout this monthly KYN collaboration between Black Men’s Health Clinic - BMHC and Housing Authority of Travis County.

On August 13th, we hosted the Black Men’s Health Clinic® (BMHC) Know Your Numbers Health Fair at the Housing Authority of Travis County (HATC)'s Alexander Oaks residential community. The interactive wellness experience aimed to go beyond traditional health education by equipping participants with actionable health information. We are bridging gaps and promoting access to healthcare by meeting people where they are as a clinical navigation partner.

A key feature of the fair was its personalized approach. Participants’ health vitals gave partner organizations valuable insight into each person’s current health status. As residents explored the stations, they received personalized health education, recommendations, referrals, and opportunities to schedule appointments based on their individual needs. Texas Catalyst was among the participating organizations. Tamira Armwood, Founder and Executive Director of Texas Catalyst, commented:
“My organization participated because we're interested in bringing community services to the community and to help people access resources easily." She added, “Knowing your blood pressure, knowing your cholesterol levels, knowing your blood sugar helps you to be able to speak and advocate for yourself when you're getting services. It's good to just know what your body is doing.”

The Fair also created space for important conversations about s*xual health and the importance of tracking key health metrics, such as body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar. Brandon Diaz, RN, Care Manager Supervisor at CommunityCare, said:
“Sexual health is an aspect of health that I feel is underserved. Especially now with the stigma just surrounding s*x in general. It's very hush hush, and so bringing it out hopefully helps open up that conversation to start talking about your s*xual health.”

The BMHC Know Your Numbers initiative connects communities to health education, screenings, and resources that encourage people to take an active role in their health.

𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗘 𝗕𝗘 𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗚.

Sometimes we focus so much on becoming a certain person that we miss out on enjoying life or discovering something else we might love. Other times, we get so caught up having fun that we neglect the preparation we’ll need later.

Are you so focused on the future that you’re missing out on the present? Or are you enjoying the present at the expense of your future?

It’s a balance we all have to work through. You can be doing well and make choices that set you back. You can also be struggling and start making changes that move you forward. Neither happens without consequences or effort, and getting back on track can mean learning habits you wish you’d developed sooner.

The person you meet today may have struggled with the same things you’re facing now. You’re seeing where they are, without necessarily knowing what it took to get there. Give others—and yourself—room to be more than past choices.

Scholarship opportunity for student athletes with Texas Black Legacy Foundation.

We are pleased to share an upcoming scholarship opportunity from our community partner, the Texas Black Legacy Foundation (TBLF). The TBLF Legacy Scholarship recognizes the determination and potential of young people from underserved communities while helping students pursuing athletics-related studies prepare for future professional and business opportunities.

The scholarship offers more than financial assistance. TBLF connects students with internships and mentorships, community service opportunities, support services, financial literacy, and wellness programs—creating wraparound support as students work toward their educational and career goals.

Applications open October 15th and are accepted through January 16th each year. Eligibility includes need-based high school students from underserved communities who are studying or participating in athletics, are not currently receiving a full scholarship, and maintain a 3.0 GPA. Returning TBLF college scholars must maintain at least a 2.5 GPA and meet TBLF eligibility requirements.

We encourage students, parents, educators, coaches, and community members to share this information with young people who may benefit from this opportunity.

People can be right about the problem and still be looking to the wrong place for the solution.

Who controls the issue? Who has the authority to act? Who is responsible for fixing it—and who simply is not?

Without understanding how systems operate, frustration can easily be directed toward people or institutions that do not actually have the power to resolve the issue.

Understanding who can act is what turns frustration into accountability.
