Chicago rapper, activist and new dad Vic Mensa brought raw candor when he joined cultural curator Kenny Burns for a live taping of the Blueprint Connect podcast at the 2025 WayMaker Men’s Summit, presented by Suave Men. In just under nine minutes, Mensa covered everything from the birth of his son Mansa Musa to the incremental “small victories” that anchor his mental-health routine — all while encouraging the packed Beehive crowd to operate from a place of purpose.
Long vocal about therapy and meditation, Mensa reminded attendees that progress isn’t dramatic but a daily walk. He listed moments like finishing a journal entry or completing a workout as proof that he had “kept the promise” to himself.
