Becoming Him Magazine

Published: 6/18/2025

Dek: Born from a need bigger than buzz, Becoming Him Magazine™ is a dignity-first publication created by Crystal Jordan to center men’s wellness, fatherhood, purpose, and community with practical tools men can use today.

Why “Becoming” Still Matters

“Becoming” is not a finish line it’s a rhythm. Careers pivot. Families evolve. Health changes. Relationships stretch and sometimes break. In the middle of all that, men still need language, community, and actionable steps. That’s why Becoming Him Magazine™ exists: to replace noise with nuance and hype with help.

“We don’t perform masculinity here—we practice it.”

The Origin Story

Becoming Him Magazine™ was envisioned and founded by Crystal Jordan, a media creator and advocate committed to impact over image. After years of amplifying community stories, Crystal recognized a gap: spaces where men could be honest and equipped. Not shamed, not sensationalized supported.

Today, Becoming Him is operated by Inspiring Impact Media Group LLC, the parent company behind community-driven platforms like Auesomely You Magazine™ and Zachariah’s World.
