About the Ever Forward Club The Ever Forward Club (EFC) supports young people in expressing their authentic selves and fostering emotional well-being. Through our #MillionMaskMovement (#MMM), we encourage individuals to create masks representing their public persona and private self, fostering deeper connections and conversations.
What is the #MillionMaskMovement?
The #MillionMaskMovement (#MMM) was founded by Ashanti Branch and the Ever Forward Club to create spaces for young people and adults to explore emotional vulnerability through artistic self-expression. By creating masks, participants reveal the sides of themselves they show to the world and those they often hide, fostering deep, authentic conversations.
The movement has reached thousands worldwide, offering a creative approach to dismantling social barriers and promoting mental and emotional well-being. Through #MMM, individuals realize they are not alone in their struggles, empowering them to build meaningful connections and support networks.
