The “M” In May Means Mental Health

Ty and Yoh mark Mental Health Month and Malcolm X’s birthday by asking, “Are you more Malcolm X or Martin Luther King” in how you protect your mental health. They compare a more aspirational, unity-focused approach with a more “by any means necessary” boundary-setting style, discussing how protecting peace can affect relationships, public approval, and vulnerability. They touch on why Black men historically avoided discussing mental health, how nightmares and disrupted sleep can signal deeper issues, and the idea that some mental health struggles may connect to spiritual crisis. Ty shares that reducing work travel, keeping a steady routine with workouts, and dedicating August as his personal wellness month helps calm his nervous system and support long-term mental health.
