Live Long and Master Aging Building a Culture of Movement | Kwame Terra
Kwame Terra is on a mission to make movement a cultural norm and health an accessible part of everyday life. Through his community-based bEHR Health platform, the New Orleans athlete is reimagining wellness through walking, technology, and social connection.
His mission: to make healthy choices desirable, accessible, and part of daily life, particularly within Black communities that have long faced systemic health gaps.
Terra promotes walking as a low-cost, high-impact path to improved longevity and reduced health disparities. He’s developed tools such as personal health scores and participation challenges that turn physical activity into an engaging, collective experience.
Earlier this year, he walked more than two million steps in 30 days - a record-breaking endurance feat that underscored his message that modest, consistent movement can transform health outcomes. Now, with the launch of the bEHR Health app, he aims to deliver real-time health feedback and community-driven challenges directly to users’ hands - turning wellness into a shared, sustainable habit.
In this conversation with Peter Bowes, Terra discusses the role of culture, environment, and feedback in shaping lasting habits - and why small steps, taken together, can help close health gaps and extend healthspan.
