At the 2025 Rare Beauty Mental Health Summit, Ashanti Branch of the Ever Forward Club led a powerful conversation and mask-making activity that invited attendees to explore vulnerability, identity, and emotional wellness. Through the #MillionMaskMovement, participants reflected on what they show the world—and what they often keep hidden.

The Ever Forward Club brought its powerful #MillionMaskMovement to Seton Hall University during the Men’s Mental Health Gala on April 24, 2025. Led by keynote speaker Ashanti Branch, the event created a transformative space for college men to explore vulnerability, emotional wellness, and authentic connection. Through interactive mask-making, campus tabling, and student dialogue, this partnership illuminated the urgent need to prioritize men’s mental health on college campuses.
