LOOK GOOD, FEEL GOOD: MOBI TEAMS UP WITH SCOTCH & SODA FOR ‘WELL & WELL-DRESSED’ CAMPAIGN

The wellness initiative, which highlights queer brothers of color, is encouraging holistic health in combating adversity.

The Mobilizing Our Brothers Initiative (MOBI) has announced the launch of their “Well & Well-Dressed” campaign, a collaboration with Dutch fashion powerhouse Scotch & Soda encouraging holistic living in queer communities. Created as a “call to action” to combat adversity while looking and feeling good, the initiative aims to foster a space in which the LGBTQ+ community can nurture their inner and outer wellbeing.

Scotch & Soda dressed nine handpicked LGBTQ+ influencers using their latest in-store collection. The result was a striking statement highlighting each model’s personal style while disrupting gender norms. Read More

Growing up, DaShawn Usher didn’t feel connected to anyone who, like him, was both black and gay. “It was super hard growing up and not seeing images that reflected my identity,” Usher told NBC News. He saw gay characters on popular TV series, like Showtime’s "Queer as Folk," he said, but the show lacked black characters. “It didn’t allow for me to actually connect to or identify with the gay community,” Usher added.

Now in his 30s, Usher is using his decade of experience as a community organizer to bring black gay and queer men together. He recently founded the Mobilizing Our Brothers Initiative (MOBI), an event series and social group for black gay males in New York City. Read More
