In a recent episode of The Day with Trae, host Trae Holiday welcomed Besa Gordon, host of Converge’s Back2Besa, to discuss the YOUniversal Fitness's Man Uplift program, led by Coach Mike Ford. This program provides a safe space for Black men to engage in physical fitness and mental health discussions with licensed therapists, helping redefine what it means to be a strong man.

Gordon and Holiday highlighted how the program fosters community and emotional openness among men, something often overlooked in traditional discussions about masculinity. The interview emphasized the importance of mental and physical health, and the powerful impact programs like Man Uplift have on the community. Gordon also praised the work being done to uplift positive stories within the Black community and expressed excitement for the upcoming season of her show, which will continue to highlight similar stories and events.
