Just John

Join us at Just John during Happy Hour on January 12th for an amazing cause to help Ted!

Ted recently lost everything in a house fire - his home, belongings, and sense of security. We’re coming together as a community to help him get back on his feet during this incredibly difficult time.

-- Mental health is health—and our minds deserve the same care, rest, and compassion as our bodies. In the Black community, conversations about mental health have too often been silenced by stigma, strength myths, or lack of access. It’s time to change that.

It’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to ask for help. Healing looks different for everyone, and choosing support is a powerful act of self-love and resistance.

Let’s keep creating space for honesty, rest, joy, and community care. Check on your people. Listen without judgment. Normalize therapy, boundaries, and emotional wellness.

You are not weak for feeling. You are human. And you deserve peace. ✨

Let’s dead the myth that we have to be “strong” all the time. If your mental health has been on edge, that’s not you failing—that’s life doing the absolute most. And no, suffering in silence is not a requirement.

Here in St. Louis, help is local, real, and made with us in mind. The Community Wellness Project is about making sure Black q***r men have access to support, conversations, and care without judgment or side-eye. Therapy is grown. Asking for help is grown. Protecting your peace is grown.

Sending glitter-bright holiday love to all my LGBTQ+ fam! May your days be warm, your nights be joyful, and your season filled with chosen-family hugs, loud laughs, and all the sparkle your heart can handle. No matter how you celebrate, remember you deserve joy, peace, and a space where you can shine unapologetically. Happy Holidays, beautiful people!”

**“Shoutout to our LGBTQ fam — the only community that can turn a bad day into a fashion show, a breakup into a glow-up, and a group chat into free therapy with memes. 💅🏾🌈

We’re out here thriving, surviving, and occasionally crying… but with good edges and unmatched vibes.

If you see me looking fabulous today, mind your business — it took 3 affirmations, 2 iced coffees, and one Beyoncé playlist to get here. 😂✨

Love y’all! Stay iconic.”**

Just a reminder that your existence is magic, your identity is valid, and your strength is unmatched. Every day you show the world what authenticity truly looks like, and that deserves to be celebrated.

Keep shining loudly, loving boldly, and walking proudly in who you are. The world is brighter because you are in it. 💖💙💛💚💜

Reminder: You’re doing better than you think. Half the time we’re all just out here guessing, praying, and hoping our Wi-Fi and our life stay connected. Keep going—you got this, even if you needed three cups of coffee and a pep talk from Beyoncé in your head.

Happy Wednesday
