🌟 One of my all-time favorite shows🌟 Last night we presented The VALOR Men’s Fashion Review! It was full of heart and camaraderie. The energy backstage was absolutely infectious! This heart-centered showcase was about more than style; it was a rallying cry for men’s mental health. By attending, you didn’t just enjoy a night of fashion and fun you championed a vital cause. Together, we embraced fashion that transcends the superficial and delves deep into the soul, supporting the conversation around men’s mental health and contributing to the outstanding work of @LIVINorg . Let’s continue to define an era where fashion not only adorns but also uplifts and supports. Thank you for being a part of this amazing journey. 💖 Special Thank You 💖 DJ & sax sensation ZANE for setting the perfect mood. Clinton Schultz Sobah Beverages welcome to country and the impactful mental health speech. Jacob Turner sharing his profound experiences with the armed forces and emphasizing the importance of breaking the silence and seeking help.

We're thrilled to announce that Jacob Turner will be a special guest speaker at Runway 4 - VALOR! 🎤 @jacobturner.eth Jacob, now an actor, stunt performer, presenter, and host of ‘The Life LID Podcast’, spent 6 years in the ADF as an Infantry Soldier, deploying to Afghanistan in 2010/11. Facing struggles with his own demons since his discharge from The Australian Army in 2015, Jacob is a staunch advocate for men’s mental health. Having had the unfortunate experience of losing military brothers by their own hand, he fully understands the dark places that men can find themselves in without the proper help and the often permanent consequences of not reaching out.
