COME ONE, COME ALL
DALLAS — Stephanie M. Seaton is destined to run it back.
Only this time, she’s doing so from another city.
An esteemed Tyler, Texas faith leader, Seaton announced she is hosting what is suitably known as the My Brothers Keeper-Men Hurt Too 2026 Men’s Empowerment Initiative, a Christ-centered event designed to empower godly men to steadfastly become better versions of themselves.
Last year’s conference was held in Dallas.

“Men carry silent battles every day… but they don’t have to carry them alone,” Seaton, a longtime ordained minister, author, speaker, publisher, podcaster, and healing advocate said via Facebook in a March 1 post. “Join us for the Men Hurt Too Conference, a powerful gathering created to give men a safe space to heal, release, grow, and reconnect with God.”
Generally, Seaton’s My Brothers Keeper-Men Hurt Too 2026 Men’s Empowerment Initiative is centered in large part on a great deal of transparency, transformation, and truth, the faith leader said.
“Real stories. Real struggles. Real healing,” Seaton said.
By all accounts, attendees, conference organizers said, can expect to witness the following:
- Real conversations about relationships, identity and emotional trauma
- Practical tools for leadership, fatherhood and accountability
- Transparent panel dialogue from anthology authors
- Upscale catered meal experience
- Raffles, door prizes & powerful networking and,
- A space where men can be strong and still be honest
Hosted by Melvin Bruce Lee, the My Brothers Keeper-Men Hurt Too 2026 Men’s Empowerment Initiative will feature a gallery of guests, most notably keynote speaker Dwight DeRamus, as well as Deric Durden, Dr. Maurice McMillian, and Rev. Ricardo Porter.
The faith-based assembly will also include a special panel discussion comprised of a gallery of co-authors for Seaton’s highly-anticipated anthology, Unmasking Stories Behind The Strong Faces, which made its ceremonious debut in December 2025.
“This transformational half-day experience addresses the emotional, relational, and generational challenges men silently carry,” Seaton said. “Designed to confront the cultural expectation that men must always appear strong, the conference provides an atmosphere where strength and vulnerability coexist.”

In a culture that tells men to “man up” but never “open up,” Seaton emphasized that Men Hurt Too stands as a restorative response.
“This initiative is part of Diamonds in the Rough Ministry’s broader mission: Healing. Empowerment. Transformation,” Seaton said. “Because when men heal, families heal. Marriages heal. Communities heal. Generational shifts.”
