With over two decades of experience in the human services field, Brian T. Stewart is a dedicated professional committed to promoting mental health and wellness, particularly among men of color. As a proud graduate of two Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)—Fort Valley State University and Clark Atlanta University—Brian has built a career around empowering individuals to express themselves and engage in meaningful conversations about mental health.

He is the founder and creator of Rise and Vibe, LLC, a platform specializing in mental health-related products and services aimed at encouraging positive mental health practices for men of color.

Brian is passionate about creating spaces where men, especially men of color, feel comfortable discussing their mental health. He believes in the importance of fostering open dialogues and breaking down barriers related to mental wellness.

Guided by the principles that have shaped his life, Brian often reflects on two key inspirations: Luke 1:37, “With God, NOTHING is impossible,” and the words of Booker T. Washington, “Character, not circumstances, makes the man.” These guiding philosophies fuel his commitment to positively impact the lives of those around him, which he believes is his true purpose.
