Healing the Hurt: Breaking the Silence Around Black Men’s Trauma | Sam Simmons on Community, Healing & Hope

What happens when Black men are finally given permission to speak openly about pain, trauma, healing, and hope? In this powerful episode of YANA: You Are Not Alone, host James Trice sits down with behavioral consultant and licensed chemical dependency counselor Sam Simmons for an honest and deeply needed conversation about Black men’s mental and emotional health, trauma, healing, masculinity, and community. Sam shares the powerful story behind the creation of the 18th Annual Community Empowering Through Black Men Healing Conference, a movement born from a heated debate that evolved into a mission to create safe spaces for Black men to heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves and each other.
