DE LA SOUL-LED “GOOD HEALTH SUMMIT” LAUNCHES FEBRUARY 19 AT MOREHOUSE COLLEGE
Event Sponsored by LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings,
Developer of Breakthrough Cancer Therapies
Atlanta, GA (January 21, 2026) — Inspired by the music, legacy, and lived experiences of De La Soul, the inaugural Good Health: Mind, Body & Soul Summit will take place February 19 at Morehouse College in Atlanta.
This invitation-only event brings together leaders in health, culture, science, and community to advance health equity for Black men and families. It is made possible by the generous sponsorship of LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings Inc (Nasdaq: LIXT), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing breakthrough cancer therapies.
Rooted in the group’s song “Good Health,” written after the passing of founding member David Jolicoeur (Trugoy the Dove), the Summit represents the next chapter in De La Soul’s commitment to truth, wellness, and cultural impact. Developed in collaboration with Blacksmith holdings, the Summit reflects the group’s evolution from musical pioneers to wellness advocates. Together, De La Soul and Blacksmith partnered with leaders in healthcare, culture, and research to bring the Summit to life.
“This Summit is about turning pain into purpose,” said Kelvin Mercer (Posdnuos). “We’ve always used our music to speak life—and Good Health is about making sure our people live long enough to tell their own stories.”
“This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a call,” added Vincent Mason (Maseo). “Good health is real wealth. We’re creating space for Black men, families, and communities to own that truth—together.”
“Good Health aligns science with culture in a way that is both urgent and deeply human,” said Geordan Pursglove, CEO of LIXTE Biotechnology. “Through our first-in-class oncology compound, LB-100, and LIORA, our European research subsidiary, we are committed to advancing cancer care. This Summit is a powerful space to connect that innovation to the communities that need it most.”
The Summit will convene an intimate audience of health experts, artists, entertainers, athletes, researchers, and advocates. Programming will span topics across mind, body, and soul—including cancer, heart disease, mental health, addiction, sleep, relationships, and intergenerational wellness—grounded in science and lived experience.
Attendance is by invitation only. For more details, visit www.goodhealthsummit.com.
