Our Story
What began as a statement printed on a t-shirt and hoodie in Andre Barnett's Job Corps dorm room has grown into a beacon of hope for countless individuals who suffer in silence. FMH started as a personal reminder for Founder Andre Barnett—that he could win his own battles if he kept up the fight. That personal declaration has since transformed into a movement.
From clothing apparel to a community-driven mission, FMH was founded by Andre Barnett during his time at Job Corps in Flint, Michigan. What started as a personal mantra has grown into an organization dedicated to bridging the gap between communities and mental health resources.
