Charlamagne Tha God, co-host of “The Breakfast Club” on iHeartMedia New York and Premiere Networks, will host the fourth annual Mental Wealth Expo on October 12th from 11am to 4pm at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square, New York City.
In partnership with Mental Wealth Alliance, this free World Mental Health Day event will feature mental health experts, panels, live podcasting, and breakout rooms – including one highlighting “MEternal,” a multi-platform initiative from iHeartMedia New York that addresses the complexities of the Black maternal health crisis.
Charlamagne Tha God said, “As we gear up for the Mental Wealth Expo 2024, my excitement is through the roof. Partnering with iHeartRadio for this fourth year to invest in our mental wealth fills me with immense pride. I’m amazed by the strong leadership of MWA CMWO Dr. Alfiee and her efforts to engage our AAKOMA Project collaborators to create an atmosphere of hope and progress in mental health, especially for our diverse communities. Together, we’re not just talking about mental health; we’re actively creating spaces for healing and empowerment of Black people and all people. I couldn’t be prouder to champion this cause and witness its positive impact on so many lives.”
The guest lineup features a diverse array of experts and influencers in mental health and wellness. Attendees will hear from Dr. Alfiee M. Breland-Noble, the Chief Mental Wealth Officer of MWA and founder of the AAKOMA project, which focuses on youth mental health. Also speaking are actor, singer, author, and entrepreneur Tyrese Gibson; Dr. Rheeda Walker, a professor and scholar of Black mental health; lifestyle therapist, author, and speaker Dr. Jay Barnett; former NFL player and TV correspondent Marcus Smith II; Angela Rye, host of the “On One with Angela Rye” podcast; bestselling authors Jason Wilson and Shaka Senghor; and “Basketball Wives” sensation Dr. Cheyenne Bryant, among others.
