3 Men Died Alone. Nobody Knew for Days. This Is Why with Ajani Kingdom

from The Black & Raww Podcast · host Tinokuda Bvunzawabaya

Three men in my guest's life died alone last year. People were around them. Nobody knew for days. This is the conversation about silence we've been avoiding.In this episode, I sit down with Ajani Kingdom — educator, author, founder of Brunch Brothers, and one of the most important voices on Black men's mental health in the UK. We talk about the mask, the cost of silence, what it actually looks like to build a table and invite men to it and why "I'm fine" might be the most dangerous sentence a man can say.CHAPTERS00:00 — Introduction02:30 — Who is Ajani Kingdom?07:00 — Building Brunch Brothers14:00 — The silence spreading through our community22:00 — Three men who died alone31:00 — What masking is actually costing us40:00 — How do you build a table men actually want to sit at?51:00 — Faith, identity and what grounds us58:00 — What Ajani wants young men to knowABOUT AJANI KINGDOMAjani Kingdom is an educator, author and community builder who has spent 13 years working in schools, churches and alternative provision centres across the UK.
