Biography
Mr. Jason Wilson is the founder and CEO of the Yunion (pronounced union), a non-profit youth development organization in Detroit, Michigan. Since 2003, The Yunion has effectively reached more than 15,000 youth and young adults through innovative prevention programming, trauma-informed care, parental engagement, and counseling. In 2008, Mr. Wilson’s heart for fatherless and misguided black boys inspired him to create and direct the Cave of Adullam Transformational Training Academy (CATTA).
As an expert in Emotional Stability Training, Wilson’s leadership has garnered the CATTA numerous acknowledgments and awards for his work teaching males how to introspectively confront and conquer their emotions with composure. One of the CATTA’s videos went viral with over 80 million views worldwide. As a result, Mr. Wilson was invited to be a guest on the Dr. Oz Show and to present the CATTA at President Obama’s ‘My Brother’s Keeper’ Showcase at the White House. Later that year, NBC’s hit TV show This Is Us was so inspired by Wilson’s work, that they featured the CATTA’s initiation ceremony in one of their most viewed and award-winning episodes. Mr. Wilson signed with actor Laurence Fishburne’s film company, Cinema Gypsy, to produce a documentary film on Jason’s work with the CATTA. The film premiered at Tribeca Film Festival in 2022 - winning Best Feature Documentary, Best Editing of a documentary, and 1st Place Audience Award. The Cave documentary is currently being aired by ESPN Films on ESPN.
Mr. Wilson has over 25 years of martial arts experience, in addition to over 16 years of training and developing young black males. Mr. Wilson is a man of the Most High, a faithful husband of over 24 years, and a proud father of two beautiful children.

Battle Cry: Waging and Winning the War Within
In a culture that tells men to suppress instead of express, bestselling author Jason Wilson calls us to unlearn society's definition of masculinity and discover the power of engaging with our emotions. For decades, Jason was losing the war within--the internal battle that many men wage on a daily basis. He struggled to combat his toxic thoughts and emotions, communicating without composure, and ultimately hurting himself and his loved ones. When he began to release years of unresolved trauma, he learned how to acknowledge his emotions and express them in a healthy way. He became a better husband, father, and leader--and you can, too.
Supported by Biblical teachings, the lessons that Jason shares empower audiences to break through what they've been through. Jason calls them to become better versions of themselves, equipping them with the mental and spiritual weapons needed to redefine modern masculinity and showing us how to:
- Embrace our emotions rather than be ruled by them
- Win internal battles before they become external wars
- Break free from misconstrued masculinity and embrace our humanity
- Communicate more effectively with the people in our lives
- Heal trauma from our past in order to live our fullest lives in the present
Jason proves that it's possible to live beyond the limitations of your mind and finally experience the full life you've always longed for. What are you waiting for? It's time to win the war within.
